Question

Identify the product 'A' in the following reaction.

\[\ce{Aniline ->[(CH3CO)2O][Pyridine] A}\]

विकल्प

• Sulphanilic acid

• Benzenediazonium chloride

• Acetanilide

• p-nitroacetanilide

Answer 1

Acetanilide

Explanation:

The product (A) is acetanilide.

The aniline amino group is acetylated with acetic anhydride/pyridine. It's a substitution process involving electrophiles. Pyridine is used as a base in this reaction to eliminate the side product, HCI, from the reaction mixture.
