Amide is produced when a 2° amine and an acid chloride combine.
Acid chloride: What is it?
- The chemical name for acid chloride is RCOCl, where "R" stands for a side chain. They are reactive derivatives of carboxylic acids. In organic chemistry, an acyl group and a chlorine atom form an organic molecule known as an acyl chloride (also known as acid chloride).
- A functional group identified by the RCO molecular formula is called an acyl group. Since acyl chlorides are often hazardous, handling them requires extra care.
- They have the potential to produce HCl and organic compounds when they interact with water on the surface of the eye, irritating the eye. Anhydrous acid salts are neutral because it lacks an H+ donor.
