purpose
N-acetyl-ani-line is an important organic synthesis intermediate, mainly used for:
Pharmaceutical industry: As a raw material for sulfonamide drugs such as sulfamethoxazole, it has been historically used as an analgesic and antipyretic (but has been replaced by acetaminophen due to its toxicity).
Dye industry: used for manufacturing dye intermediates such as p-nitroacetanilide, p-nitroani-line, and p-phenylenediamine.
Industrial applications: Used as a rubber vulcanization accelerator, fiber lipid coating, and stabilizer for hydrogen peroxide, as well as for the synthesis of camphor and thioacetamide.
Analytical Chemistry: As an analytical reagent, it is used to detect cerium, chromium, iron, cyanide, lead, manganese, oxidants, nitrates, and nitrites

synthetic route
N-acetyl-ani-line is mainly prepared through the acetylation reaction of ani-line, and there are two commonly used methods:
Acetic acid acetylation method: Mix ani-line with excess glacial acetic acid, heat and reflux for 6-14 hours, cool and crystallize after the reaction is complete, filter, wash with water, and dry to obtain the product.
Acetic anhydride acylation method: In a benzene solution, ani-line is reacted with excess acetic anhydride under milder reaction conditions, resulting in higher product purity.
