It is a common term used to describe almost pure acetic acid. If water is present, bromine will react with water, rather than with aniline. This is why glacial acetic acid is used. Bromination of aromatic compounds (like aniline) using Bromine (Br2) takes place by electophilic aromatic substitution mechanism.
