Application	Benzamide is primarily utilized for studying the photocatalytic decomposition mechanisms of certain aqueous solutions, such as acetic acid, acetamide, and acetonitrile, when combined with semiconductors. It plays a crucial role in developing robust screening methods for analyzing biotransformations using the (+)-γ-lactamase enzyme. Additionally, benzamide is significant in organic synthesis and can undergo radioiodination through different labeling procedures to produce radioiodinated benzamides. These radioiodinated derivatives have potential therapeutic applications, particularly in treating patients with metastatic malignant melanoma. As an aromatic amide, benzamide consists of a benzene ring with a carboxamido group and is known for being combustible and slightly soluble in water. Its molecular structure features a non-planar arrangement due to the rotational characteristics between the amide group and the aromatic ring, resulting from repulsive interactions between the respective hydrogen atoms.
