An Eco friendly and Simple Route to Synthesis of Acetanilide from Aniline

Magnesium sulphate glacial acetic acid system has been found to be a benign, eco friendly and inexpensive catalyst for the synthesis of acetanilide from aniline. The method is simple, fast, green, avoids use of toxic acetic anhydride and involves catalysed reaction in line with the green chemistry principles. The method can be easily adopted at the undergraduate level and may find applications in the industrial scale acetylation of primary and secondary amines.
