Preparation of Acetanilide: A Detailed Overview
Acetanilide is synthesized through the acetylation of aniline using acetic anhydride and anhydrous sodium acetate, resulting in the formation of glistening plates upon cooling. Acetylation is preferred over other methods to control reactivity, and the mechanism involves the role of HCl. By deactivat
