Imidic acid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In chemistry, an imidic acid is any molecule that contains the -C(=NH)-OH functional group.[1] It is the tautomer of an amide and the isomer of an oxime.

The term "imino acid" is an obsolete term for this group that should not be used in this context because an imino acid actually has a different technical meaning.[2]
