Concept Introduction:

Amides are derivatives of carboxylic acid.  This is the reason that their names are completely based on the parent carboxylic acid.

IUPAC rules for naming an amide:

• The end in name of the carboxylic acid is changed from “-ic acid” or “-oic acid” to “-amide”.
• The groups attached to the nitrogen are appended to front of base name by using N-prefix as locator.

For amides, IUPAC name and common names are the named using the same rules.
