Amide formation
Recorded reactions filed under this class. The ones that carry a written procedure and an atom map are shown below as worked examples.
How it is thought to work
The nucleophile adds to the carbonyl, the carbon holds four groups for a moment, and the leaving group is pushed out as the double bond comes back.
What the engine will do with your structures
Amide formation from acid and amine
A carboxylic acid and an amine combine into an amide, releasing water. Usually run: Usually requires a coupling reagent or strong heating; direct condensation is slow.
Acyl chloride with an amine
The amine displaces chloride from the carbonyl, giving the amide. Usually run: Cold, often with a base to take up the hydrogen chloride.

Reading these records
Everything on a record page came from the source that published it. Conditions the source did not state are shown as not recorded, and no typical value is substituted for them. Yields are whatever was measured by whoever ran the experiment.
