Editing Imide (section)

==Examples==
Simple example is [[diacetamide]] with the formula {{chem2|HN(COCH3)2}}, formally the diacetylated derivative of ammonia. Commonly encountered imides, however, are cyclic, being derived from [[dicarboxylic acid]]s.  A common example is [[succinimide]] derived from [[succinic acid]] and ammonia.  The names of these cyclic imides reflect the parent acid.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Martynov|first=A. V.|date=2005-12-06|title=New Approach to the Synthesis of trans-Aconitic Acid Imides | journal=ChemInform|language=en|volume=36|issue=49|pages=no|doi=10.1002/chin.200549068|issn=1522-2667}}</ref> 

Many imides are derived from primary [[amine]]s as opposed to ammonia.  These are indicated by ''N''-substituent in the prefix. For example, N-ethylsuccinimide is derived from succinic acid and [[ethylamine]].
