Organic compounds containing the -CN radical. The concept is distinguished from CYANIDES, which denotes inorganic salts of HYDROGEN CYANIDE.
Nitrile
D010642
Phenoxyacetates
Derivatives of phenoxyacetic acid, including its salts and esters.
D004952
Esters
Compounds derived from organic or inorganic acids in which at least one hydroxyl group is replaced by an –O-alkyl or another organic group. They can be represented by the structure formula RCOOR’ and are usually formed by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with elimination of water.
Ester
D004987
Ethers
Organic compounds having two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to an oxygen atom, as in the formula R1–O–R2.
D006868
Hydrolysis
The process of cleaving a chemical compound by the addition of a molecule of water.
D000215
Acylation
The addition of an organic acid radical into a molecule.
D000478
Alkylation
The covalent bonding of an alkyl group to an organic compound. It can occur by a simple addition reaction or by substitution of another functional group.
Alkylations
D000578
Amidines
Derivatives of oxoacids RnE(
D001550
Benzamidines
Amidines substituted with a benzene group. Benzamidine and its derivatives are known as peptidase inhibitors.
