  • Acetamide (systematic name: ethanamide) is an organic compound with the formula CH₃CONH₂. It is the simplest amide, and it is derived from acetic acid. It finds some use as a plasticizer and as an industrial solvent. The related compound N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) is more widely used, but it is not prepared from acetamide. Acetamide can be considered an intermediate between acetone, which has two methyl (CH₃) groups either side of the carbonyl (CO), and urea which has two amide (NH₂) groups in those locations. Acetamide is also a naturally occurring mineral with the IMA symbol: Ace.
