Propanamide has the chemical formula CH₃CH₂C=O(NH₂).^[1] It is the amide of propanoic acid.

This organic compound is a mono-substituted amide.^[2] Organic compounds of the amide group can react in many different organic processes to form other useful compounds for synthesis.

Preparation[edit]

Propanamide can be prepared by the condensation reaction between urea and propanoic acid:

${\ce {(NH2)2CO + 2CH3CH2COOH -> CH3CH2CO(NH2) + H2O + CO2}}$

or by the dehydration of ammonium propionate:

${\ce {(NH4)CH3CH2COO -> CH3CH2CONH2 + H2O}}$

Reactions[edit]

Propanamide being an amide can participate in a Hoffman rearrangement to produce ethylamine gas.
