Ozonization of various amides was carried out as a model reaction for the degradation of polyamides with ozone. N‐alkylamides and N,N‐dialkylamides were found to be reactive compared with those amides which have no alkyl group on the nitrogen atom, and it was suggested that ozone attacks preferentially N‐methylene or N‐methyl group of amides in the first step of ozonization.
