Question

Accomplish the following conversions: Aniline to p-bromoaniline

Answer 1

For the reaction of Aniline to p-bromoaniline,

Aniline which is a benzene ring along with NH2 in the presence of pyridine or (CH3CO)2 which will form N-phenylethanamide (acetanilide) which is a benzene ring with NHCOCH3.

This will be taken in the presence of Br2 and CH3COOH which will form Benzene ring with NHCOCH3 and Br.

Then on hydrolysis, we will get p-bromoaniline.
