Transcribed Image Text:### Synthesis of p-Bromoaniline from Aniline
This educational module covers the synthesis of p-bromoaniline through a three-step process starting with aniline.
#### Equation 1:
The first step involves the bromination of aniline. Aniline reacts with bromine (\(Br_2\)) to form 2,4,6-tribromoaniline as well as mono- and disubstituted products.
- **Reactant:** Aniline (C6H5NH2)
- **Reagent:** Bromine (Br2)
- **Products:** 2,4,6-tribromoaniline and other brominated aniline derivatives
#### Equation 2:
In the second step, aniline reacts with acetic anhydride to perform acetylation, forming acetanilide.
- **Reactants:** Aniline (C6H5NH2) and Acetic Anhydride
- **Product:** Acetanilide (C6H5NH(COCH3))
#### Equation 3:
The third step is the bromination of acetanilide. Acetanilide reacts with bromine (\(Br_2\)) to produce p-bromoacetanilide.
- **Reactant:** Acetanilide
- **Reagent:** Bromine (Br2)
- **Product:** p-Bromoacetanilide
#### Equation 4:
The final step involves acid hydrolysis of p-bromoacetanilide to form p-bromoaniline.
- **Reactant:** p-Bromoacetanilide
- **Process:** Acid Hydrolysis
- **Product:** p-Bromoaniline (C6H4BrNH2)
This series of reactions shows the transformation of aniline to p-bromoaniline through bromination, acetylation, further bromination, and finally, hydrolysis.

Transcribed Image Text:**Part 1:**
**Running the Reaction:**
- 2.0 mL concentrated hydrochloric acid and 50 mL of water were placed in a 125 mL flask.
- 2.3 mL of aniline were added and the mixture swirled until everything dissolved.
- 3.1 mL of acetic anhydride were added and stirred until it dissolved.
- A solution of 3.8 g of sodium acetate in 10 mL water was added immediately.
- The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes and then placed in an ice bath.
**Product Isolation:**
- The beige solids were isolated using a vacuum filtration with a small Büchner funnel, washed with 5 mL of ice-cold water, and then air sucked through the solids for 10 minutes.
- The crude was dissolved in 12 mL of hot water and 0.5 g of charcoal was added.
- After boiling the mixture for 10 minutes, the hot solution was filtered using fluted filter paper.
- Off-white crystals appeared in the flask upon cooling; the crystals were isolated by vacuum filtration and dried.
**Product Characterization:**
- 2.30 g of the product.
- Melting point: 113.0-113.7 °C.
