Product 1

HCID 904AcetanilideYield 90%

Procedure

To the same reaction mixture containing the phosphonium salt as in Example 1 was added a mixture of 3.0 g. (0.05 mole) of acetic acid and 5.2 g. (0.056 mole) of aniline, and the resulting mixture was reacted under reflux for 2 hours. Thereafter, the same aftertreatment as in Example 1 was effected to obtain acetanilide, yield 90% based on acetic acid.
