If the reaction mixture containing p-aminophenol, distilled H2O, and acetic anhydride was heated to 200 degrees celsius what would have happened? (How is it different from 100 degrees celsius? I am unsure...) Thanks XOXOX ?

Answer -
According to the question -
Given -
reaction mixture containing p-aminophenol, distilled H2O, and acetic anhydride was heated to 200 degrees celsius
p-Aminophenol +Acetic anhydride --H2O and heat--> p-Acetylaminophenol + Acetic acid
When water alone is used acetylaminophenol being nonpolar does not dissolve in water which is polar, in order to do recrystallization acetaminophenol should become soluble in water on heating which is not possible so water alone can not be used.
When methanol alone is used acetaminophenol is completely soluble even at room temperature, moreover removal of acetic acid is not possible with methanol alone.
