acetanilide synthesis and identification
« on: October 01, 2014, 01:42:38 PM »
hi all
I want to synthesize acetanilidie by aniline, anhydride  acetic, acid acetic and zinc powder, I know the acid acetic is the catalyst of the reaction but what is the role of Zinc here?
and is there any special test for identifying acetanilide or not?
thanks :D

Zinc is probably relevant if you are using anilinium chloride.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
