Exp.06 Preparation of P-Bromo Acetanilide
Exp.06 Preparation of P-Bromo Acetanilide
Objectives:
- Preparation of p-bromo acetanilide (Bromination reaction).
Discussion:
This mechanism is a classic example of electrophilic aromatic substitution. An amine
may lead to di- and tri- substituted products. If an amide is used in place of the amine,
monosubstitution usually predominates (the electron-withdrawing carbonyl group
makes the benzene ring less nucleophilic). This ortho-, para- directing group will tend
to only add groups para- to itself because of the steric bulk of the amide group.
