Why the acetylation requires one mole of aceticanhydride


1. Why does phenacetin or acetanilide not dissolve in diluteHCL?

2. Explain clearly why the solution of phenetidine or aniline inaqueous HCL will not react with acetic anhydride unless the sodiumacetate is added.

3. Explain why the acetylation requires one moleof aceticanhydride per mole of phenetidine, despite the fact that aceticanhydride contains two acetyl groups. How is the by-productcontaining the second acetyl group removed from phenacetin?
