How to Read IR spectrum? (With subtitles) | Amide | The Carbonyl functional group
Amides are characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group to which a nitrogen is attached. This nitrogen provides its lone pair for resonance with the carbonyl group, decreasing its double bond character and thus the strength. Therefore, it abosrbs at a lower frequency.
This video lecture explains how we can identify the presence or absence of an amide functional group through IR spectoscopy.
