Sulfanilamide has two groups on the benzene ring in para- positions to each other. The amino group is a highly activating ortho-directing group and the sulfonamide group is a meta-directing group.
Consequently, the amino group must be introduced first followed by the introduction of the sulfonamide group. To introduce the sulfonamide group one must first use chlorosulfonic acid then ammonium hydroxide.
Unfortunately, amino groups react with chlorosulfonic acid leading to undesired products and the direct chlorosulfonation of aniline would not lead to the desired intermediate product. However, if the amino group is converted to an amide, the undesired side reaction with chlorosulfonic acid is avoided. The acetyl group in this
case serves as a "protecting group" for the amine that allows a smooth chlorosulfonation of the benzene ring.
The amide nitrogen does not activate the ring towards substitution as much as the free amino group, but it can still exert its ortho/para- directing influence. In this case the steric hindrance provided by the acetyl group results in the substitution occurring predominantly at the para- substitution. The protecting acetyl group is removed later to give the desired "free" amino group. The protection of groups that would interfere with a given step in a synthesis is not uncommon, but I it is necessary for the "protecting group" to be introduced and removed readily by reactions that will not adversely affect other groups in the molecule.

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.

o- and p-bromoaniline. In aquous medium we get 2,4,6-tribromo aniline.
There is likely no reaction, aniline is a base that upon aquiring a proton converts to a stable ammonium cation, ferric nitrate( Fe(NO3)2 ) has no protons to donate to the amine group of aniline means it will likely not react. In addition the nitrate ion of ferric nitrate is the conjugate base of Nitric acid and is thus extremely stable isn't likely to react with much of anything.
Acetic anhydride and aniline are the reactants for the preparation of acetaanilide.
An acetanilide is an amide derived from acetic acid and aniline, once used as an analgesic and antipyretic.
benzyl amine is the most basic

Actually it is possible to put a second acyl group on as well, for example with acetyl chloride and triethylamine. Under aqueous basic conditions the second acyl group is far more readily hydrolysed.

Write a detailed set of equations for the acetylation reaction, and in particular show clearly that the reaction can be regarded as a nucleophilic substitution, in which the attacking nucleophile is aniline (attacking acetic anhydride).
Aniline is used in the synthesis of numerous pharmaceutical compounds. It serves as a starting material for the production of various analgesics, antipyretics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Additionally, aniline derivatives are employed in the synthesis of certain antibiotics, antimalarials, and antitumor agents.
Dyes are of several types they may be acidic , basic or neutral, organic dyes are mostly basic.
di-tert butyl ether cannot be made by Williamson's synthesis. why
Strength of bases is related to the ease of accepting a proton which inturn depends on the availability of electron pair on the nitrogen atom (or some other basic atom). More is the availability of electron pair, more easily the proton will be accepted and more will be the basic strength.Aniline is a weaker base than ammonia or cyclohexylamine. It is because of the fact that the electron pair on nitrogen is involved in delocalization, making it less available for donation.
