However, direct application of acetanilide may cause methmoglobinemia and damage liver and kidneys. The objectives of the experiment are as follows: 1. to synthesize acetanilide by acetylation of aniline 2. to purify crude acetanilide by recrsytallization 3. to calculate the percentage yield of pure acetanilide
