Peptide-like molecule, which has a close connection with the origin of life, has been detected in universe. Mapping observations of HCONH and CHCONH, two simplest peptide-like molecules, are performed towards Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) complex with the IRAM 30m telescope. Seven transitions of HCONH and five transitions of CHCONH are used in analysis. The spatial distribution of excitation temperature and column density of HCONH in the molecular envelope of Sgr B2 are obtained by the rotation diagrams. Assuming the same excitation temperature as HCONH, the column densities of CHCONH are also calculated. The results show that excitation temperature ranges from 6 K to 46 K in the molecular envelope of Sgr B2. The abundance ratio between HCONH and CHCONH are calculated to explore the relationship among them, as well as HNCO mentioned in our pervious research. The abundance ratio of CHCONH/HCONH varies from 10% to 20%, while that of HCONH/HNCO ranges from 1.5% to 10%. CHCONH is enhanced with respect to HCONH in the northwest region of Sgr B2. One transition of HCONH is detected toward 12 positions of Sgr B2, from which a C/C ratio of 28.7 is obtained. A time-dependent chemical model with a short duration of X-ray burst is used to explain the observed abundances of HCONH and CHCONH, with the best fitting result at T = 53-56 K. More chemical reactions are required to be included into the model since the modeled abundance is lower than the observed one at the observed T.
