Sulphinide \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.
