An organic compound formed by the condensation of aniline with carbon dioxide or related reactions.
From carban- (carbon-related prefix) plus anilid, referring to aniline derivatives. Scientific terminology from 19th-century chemical research.
Carbanilids are technically an early example of 'designer molecules'—chemists deliberately combined simple molecules to create compounds with totally new properties!
