Question
Write the preparation reactions for acid amide from the following.
Carboxylic acid
Advertisements
Solution
Carboxylic acids react with ammonia to form ammonium carboxylate salt which on further strong heating at high temperature decomposes to give acid amide.

\ce{\underset{\text{Carboxylic acid}}{R - C - OH} + NH3 ⇌ \underset{\text{Ammonium carboxylate}}{R - C - O- - NH^+_4} ->[\Delta][-H2O] \underset{\text{Acid amide}}{R - C - NH2}}
\end{array}\]
