Is acetanilide an amide?
yes
What is the reaction when zinc acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid are combine?
Acetanilide
How can seprate p-nitro acetanilide mixture of para and ortho acetanilide?
The amide group on acetanilide is an ortho/para director, so a simple nitration should work: a mixture of sulfiric acid and nitric acid should be sufficient. Afterward, separation of the ortho and para compounds (by column chromatography, probably) would be necessary.
Why para-nitro acetanilide is insoluble in water whereas ortho-nitro acetanilide is soluble in water?
p-nitro phenol has a symmetric structure as compare to o-nitro phenol so it has higher dipole moment or polarity so is more soluble.
Lamda max of paracetamol and acetanilide in methanol?
243.5 nm in 0.1 N Hydrochloric acid
How can you prepare para-nitro acetanilide from acetanilide?
used of para nitro acet anilide
Why can't acetanilide dissolve in HCl?
Why is not acetanilide soluble in HCL?
What is an acetanilid?
An acetanilide is an amide derived from acetic acid and aniline, once used as an analgesic and antipyretic.
Most suitable for recrystallizing acetanilide?
the most suitable for recrystrallizing acetanilide is water..
Will acetanilide dissolve in hot heptane?
Yes. Heptane is an ideal recrystallization solvent for acetanilide.
What is the purpose of adding sodium acetate to the reaction mixture in preparation of acetanilide?
In the synthesis of acetanilide the hydrochloride salt of aniline is used in order to increase the solubility in water. The sodium acetate acts as a base and reacts with the HCl to produce acetic acid. Once the acetanilide product is no longer a hydrochloride salt, its solubility in water is decreased and it crystalises out. The main byproducts are sodium chloride and acetic acid which remain soluble in the water and are removed when the crude product is filtered off.
Is acetanilide an amide?
yes
What is the reaction of acetanilide with litmus?
Acetanilide is a substituted aromatic amide insoluble in water and is almost neutral so does not react with litmus.
Why add nitric acid and sulphuric acid to acetanilide?
HNO3 + H2SO4 acts as a sulphonating agent. It reacts with acetanilide to from 4-Acetylamino-benzenesulfonic acid.
Why is water a good solvent for the crystallization for acetanilide?
It is most useful when crystals are being filtered out of a desired product. Why is water a good solvent for the recrystallization of acetanilide? Acetanilide readily dissolves in hot water, but is insoluble at low temps. Thus, it dissolves in hot water but crystalizes easily when cool.
What is a reason for low yield in the bromination of acetanilide?
Terrible technique
What is the side effects of acetanilide?
acetanilide results in the deactivation of the heamoglobin in some red blood cells. This means they can uptake fewer oxygen molecules therefore you may feel breathless, tired ect
