Synthesis of p-bromoacetanilide from acetanilide
Principle
p-bromoacetanilide is prepared by bromination process. Mono substituted products of primary amine cannot prepared easily by direct action of a reagent
Bromination of acetanilide gives para brominated acetanilide mainly, because amino group of acetanilide is protected by acetyl group
:Aim
.To prepare p-bromoacetanilide from acetanilide by Bromination reaction
:Reaction
:Mechanism
.Bromination is an electrophilic substitution reaction on an aromatic ring
