CH3CONHR
CH3CONHR refers to a class of organic compounds known as secondary amides. In this general formula, CH3CO represents an acetyl group, and NH represents an amine functional group where one hydrogen atom is replaced by an R group. The R group can be any alkyl or aryl substituent, meaning it can be a simple methyl group, a longer carbon chain, or a benzene ring.
Secondary amides are characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group directly bonded to a nitrogen atom,
The synthesis of CH3CONHR compounds typically involves the reaction of acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride with
