How would that reaction happen?
I wrote that I got that L is salicylic acid.

Sorry I meant N

I don't understand the previous reaction and I don't have a clue about the following one, but when going backwards I could say that N is similar to Aluminon, only all NH4- groups are replaced with hydrogens.

All that replacement is is forming the ammonium salts.
Have a look here.

The reaction of 2 x L with formaldehyde and sulphuric acid to give N is surely a Friedel-Crafts acylation?

What reaction produces the electrophile?
