| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
White crystalline solid. | [Reactivity Profile]
FORMANILIDE(103-70-8) is an amide. Amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). | [Air & Water Reactions]

SYMPTOMS: Exposure to this chemical may cause cyanosis, headache, dizziness, confusion, decreased blood pressure, convulsions and coma. | [Fire Hazard]
This chemical is probably combustible. | [Chemical Properties]
white or light yellow crystals or powder | [Uses]
Formanilide was used to study the zero electron kinetic energy(ZEKE) spectra of cis- and trans-formanilide. It was used to investigate the gas-phase structures of the two isomers of the trans-formanilide-water complex by two-colour (1+1′) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) and ZEKE spectroscopy. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A member of the class of formamides that is formamide in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a phenyl group. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
