Hydrolysis of 4-Hydroxy-(N-ethanoyl-aminobenzene)
« on: November 03, 2005, 04:58:48 PM »
If i were to hydrolize paracetemol (4-Hydroxy-(N-ethanoyl-aminobenzene) with sulphuric acid would the C-C bond be broken to leave a methyl group or N-C bond to leave a ketone?

During hydrolysis you can break C-N bond

you break the amide bond. I am afraid I am not allowed to tell you the answer: So look up what an amide is an then it's pretty obvious how the water works in splitting it. It's the opposite to its formation.
