Reaction Steps

Acetanilide is prepared by the method of Example 5 using 5.0 mls (0.05 mole) of aniline, 7.5 grams of 3A molecular sieves and 6.6 g (0.065 mole) of acetic anhydride in 100 mls of methylene chloride. The crude product (6.23 grams; 86% of theoretical) is recrystallized from toluene to obtain pure acetanilide, m.p. 112°-114° C.
