\Sul"phi*nide\, n. [Sulpho- + amine + anhydride.]
(Chem.)
A white or yellowish crystalline substance,
{C6H4.(SO2.CO).NH}, produced artificially by the oxidation of
a sulphamic derivative of toluene. It is the sweetest
substance known, having over two hundred times the sweetening
power of sugar, and is known in commerce under the name of
{saccharine}. It has acid properties and forms salts (which
are inaccurately called saccharinates). --I. Remsen.
