Write following conversions:

(i) nitrobenzene acetanilide


(ii) acetanilide p-nitroaniline



(i) nitrobenzene acetanilide



Nitrobenzene is reduced to aniline in the presence of Sn/HCl. The amino group of aniline is then acetylated with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine.


(ii) acetanilide p-nitroaniline



Acetanilide is allowed to react with nirating mixture to form p-Nitroacetanilide. P-nitroacetanilide is then converted to p-nitroaniline by hydrolysis.
