anilide Chem.
(ˈænɪlaɪd)
[f. anil- + -ide, = anil(ine am)ide.]
A species of alkalamide, related to aniline as the amides are to the amines; hence called phenylamide; it may be viewed as ammonia NH3 in which one atom of H is replaced, as in aniline, by phenyl, and another by an oxidized radical, the name of the latter being prefixed, as in acet-anilide (= phenyl-acetamide).
