Lab was done on bromination of acetanilide, aniline,anisole.
One of three compound was dissolved in glacial acetic acid.Bromine/hydrobromic acid mixture was added and continue to stir for20minutes (for anisole heat the reaciton at 80C for 40minutes)
afther 20 minutes, trasnfer the mixture to a flask containingwater and satuarted sodium bisulife solution. Place it in ice bathand let it crystalize. Do recrystalizaiton.
1. If the yield was low, explain the reason for the low yield(NOT including human error)
2. When identification of the product based on melting point andNMR differs, why they might differ and which technique you havemore confidence in.
