Application

Formanilide was used to study the zero electron kinetic energy(ZEKE) spectra of cis- and trans-formanilide. It was used to investigate the gas-phase structures of the two isomers of the trans-formanilide-water complex by two-colour (1+1′) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) and ZEKE spectroscopy.

A potential energy surface for trans-formanilide (TFA)-H2O is calculated and applied to study energy flow in the complex as well as the kinetics of water shuttling between hydrogen bonding sites on TFA. In addition to the previously identified H2O-TFA(C[Double Bond]O)

We measured the infrared (IR) spectra of supersonically cooled N-phenylformamide (formanilide) and N-phenylacetamide (acetanilide) in the amide band and X-H stretch vibration regions by using IR-UV depletion spectroscopy combined with a newly developed mid-IR light source based on difference frequency

Halogenated and alkylated N-arylcyanothioformanilides were reacted with the nucleophilic reagents triethylamine, hydrazine and diphenyldiazomethane to produce N-arylcyanothioformanilide ammonium salts, a thiosemicarbazide and a 2-(arylamino)-3,3-diphenylacrylonitrile, respectively. They also underwent several types of electrophilic reactions with aryl-, arylbisisocyanates and arylisothiocyanates to yield
