i am totally at a loss even as far as where to look after being on all sorts of web sights for the past no. of hours i have only found that sodium sulfate is a commmen impurity. 

does any one know if there is a sort of mims book for organic compounds? or even off the top of your head?

also i cant find a pic of the crystals anywhere and I'm at my wits end 

any kind of help would be much appreciated

Obviously it depends how you made it, and how pure the starting materials were.. But to start with how about either the acylating agent, or the aniline starting material?

As to pictures - depends exactly what you need them for, but using a FWSE I found http://www.olympusmicro.com/galleries/abramowitz/pages/acetanilidesmall.html
