Changed a dime for organic compound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amide

'for organic compound' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'changed a dime' is the wordplay.
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'dime'='adime'
'adime' anagrammed gives 'AMIDE'.

(Another definition for amide that I've seen is " Organic compound".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
