Positively charged carbon atom of the aldehyde's carbonyl group attacks p-position of aniline, having a negative charge. Compound 1 forms, with a positive carbon attacking a p-position of another aniline molecule.

NH2-C6H5 + RC(O)H -> NH2-C6H4-CHR(OH) (compound 1)

NH2-C6H4-CHR(OH) + NH2-C6H5 -> NH2-C6H4-CH(R)-C6H4-NH2 + H2O

In case of formaldehyde, the product is 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA).

These compounds undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction followed by an elimination, to produce an imine.http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/carey/student/olc/ch22aldehydeskeytonesamines.html

The reaction mechanism of aniline with acetic anhydride is that it will attack. Aniline readily undergoes an electrophilic mechanism and will instantly react.

Why add of little amount from acetic anhydride in synthesis of acetanilide?

Acetic anhydride and aniline are the reactants for the preparation of acetaanilide.


In the aspirin synthesis excess acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed by the addition of water which converts the anhydride into acetic acid Write the balanced equation for this reaction?

The reaction is: (CH3CO)2O + H2O = 2 CH3COOH


What would happen if the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel?

If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.


monobromination of acetanilide occurs,while tribromination of aniline would occur under the same conditions?

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).

No it is not among these.


In the preparation of aspirin water is added to the reaction flask Why?

The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.
