Short description: Organic compounds of the form RC(=O)N(R’)C₆H₅
General structure of an anilide, where R denotes possible substituents

In organic chemistry, anilides (or phenylamides) are a class of organic compounds with the general structure R–C(=O)–N(–R’)–C

. They are amide derivatives of aniline (H

).

Preparation

Aniline reacts with acyl chlorides or carboxylic anhydrides to give anilides. For example, reaction of aniline with acetyl chloride provides acetanilide (CH
