An acetylamino is the univalent radical CH3-CO-NH- derived from acetamide.
This compound is used as derivative of a coccidiostat in poultry farming.It should not be made at home.5-chloro 4-(acetylamino)2-methoxy methylbenzoate2(CH3O-)4(CH3CONH-)-5(Cl-)C6H5COO(CH3) (chemical compound))
Nitric acid and sulfuric acid are added to acetanilide to facilitate the nitration reaction. Nitric acid provides the nitronium ion needed for nitration, while sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and helps in protonating the acetanilide molecule. This process allows for the substitution of a nitro group onto the acetanilide molecule.
