Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The theoretical yield of acetaminophen inmoles and in grams needs to be determined, if 1.30 g of p-aminophenol reacts with excess of acetic anhydride in the preparation.

Concept Introduction:

The treatment of amine with acid anhydride results in the formation of amide. In the preparation of acetaminophen which is p -acetamidophenol, p -aminophenol reacts with acetic anhydride to form the amide.
