Reaction Steps

HCl (1.0 g) was dissolved in CH3CN (50 ml). To the suspension was added aniline (0.42 g) in CH3CN (10 ml), followed by water (50 ml). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, but the solution did not become homogeneous. The solution was heated for 1 hour and then cooled to room temperature. To the solution was added ammonium persulphate (1.2 g) in water (10 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred for 20 hours.
