Acetanilide synthesis
HCl, aniline, sodium acetate trihydrate=> Acetanilide
I'm being told that there is an intermediate formed (anilinium hydrochloride) but I can't figure out how it is formed exactly. (Is the reaction, for the anilinium hydrochloride just the aniline attacking a H-Cl thus forming like this ? C6H5NH2 + HCl → C6H5N+H3Cl- but I still can't figure out how this is an intermediate to form acetanilide)
I know that: supposively electron pair of NH2 group attacks the O^- when the molecule reacts to form bromoacetanilide but not sure as to the formation of aniliinium hydrochloride I' confused.
