Amides and Imides

Imides Rule C-827

827.1 - Imides of dicarboxylic acids are named by replacing the ending "-carboxylic acid" by "-carboximide", or, for trivial names, "-ic acid" by "-imide". Such compounds bearing a substituent on the nitrogen atom are named as N-substituted imides.

Examples to Rule C-827.1

827.2 - Names of radicals derived from imides by removal of the hydrogen atom attached to the imide-nitrogen atom are formed from the names of the corresponding imides by changing the ending "-imide" to "-imido-".

Examples to Rule C-827.2

827.3 - When the nomenclature of Rules C-827.1 and C-827.2 is inconvenient, imides may be named as heterocyclic compounds.

Examples to Rule C-827.3
