Amidas

Applications Octadecanamide (cas# 124-26-5) is a useful research chemical.

Applications 2,2-Dimethylthiopropionamide is used as a reagent to synthesize Dabrafenib, an inhibitor of BRAF kinase that is used to treat BRAF V600-mutation positive carcinoma. BRAF is a gene that mediates cell growth and is activated by mutations caused by cancer. 2,2-Dimethylthiopropionamide is also used as a reagent to prepare sulfonyl-substituted 4,5-diarylthiazoles, compounds that act as cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (anti-inflammatory agents).

Stability Hygroscopic
Applications Used as an intermediate in the industrial preparation of non-ionic X-ray contrast agents such as Iohexol (I729500), Ioversol (I737000), Ioxilan (I737500), Iopamidol (I735600).

Applications Benzamide is a compound that is widely used as a starting material for various organic syntheses and reactions. Benzamide derivatives are prevalent in the pharmaceutical industry, for example Raclopride (R070800), a Dopamine (D533780) D-2 agonist that is used to treat patients with Parkinson’s Disease. Benzamide derivatives are also used in chemistry, for example N-nitrophenyl benzamide derivatives are used as chromosensors to detect cyanide in aqueous environments.
