Benzamide

Description

Benzamide appears as off-white crystals or powder. It is combustible and incompatible with strong oxidising agents and strong bases. On combustion and thermal decomposition, it emits nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
Benzamide is a carbonic acid amide of benzoic acid. Benzamide exhibits an angle of about 15º with the plane of the amide group; this shows that benzamide molecule is not flat. The rotation of the amide group relative to the aromatic ring may result from the repulsion interaction between the hydrogen atoms of the amide group and those of the aromatic ring.

The Uses of Benzamide

Organic synthesis.
Benzamide on radioiodination by different labeling procedures results in large-scale production of radioiodinated benzamides having potential therapeutic application for patients with metastatic malignant melanoma.
