Benzamide is a compound that is widely used as a starting material for various organic syntheses and reactions. Benzamide derivatives are prevalent in the pharmaceutical industry, for example Raclopride (R070800), a Dopamine (D533780) D-2 agonist that is used to treat patients with Parkinson’s Disease. Benzamide derivatives are also used in chemistry, for example N-nitrophenyl benzamide derivatives are used as chromosensors to detect cyanide in aqueous environments.
