open-in-new
<p>Carboximidates (or more general imidates) are organic compounds, which can be thought of as <a href="/facts/Ester/FoUAIIw4">esters</a> formed between an <a href="/facts/Imidic_acid/22MTSL0U">imidic acid</a> (R−C(=NR′)OH) and an <a href="/facts/Alcohol_(chemistry)/Y0SCTDkh">alcohol</a>, with the general formula R−C(=NR′)OR″. </p><p>They are also known as imino ethers, since they resemble <a href="/facts/Imine/yK72z07j">imines</a> (>C=N−) with an oxygen atom connected to the carbon atom of the C=N double bond. </p>
