4-Aminoacetanilide or paracetamin is a chemical compound which is a amino derivative of acetanilide and para-isomer of aminoacetanilide. There are two other isomers of aminoacetanilide, 2-aminoacetanilide and 3-aminoacetanilide. Aminoacetanilide derivatives are important synthetic intermediates in heterocyclic and aromatic synthesis. These derivatives have found applications in pharmaceutical industry and dyes and pigment industry.^[1]

Synthesis

Becillus cereus converts 4-phenylenediamine to 4-aminoacetanilide.^[1]^[2] Reduction of 4-nitroacetanilide by hydrogenation catalyst generates 4-aminoacetanilide.^[3] Green synthesis of p-Aminoacetanilide is achieved by reducing p-nitroaetanilide using Zn/NH₄Cl in water.^[4] Number of methods are available to reduce 4-nitroacetanilide using different catalyst and reaction conditions.^[1]

Uses

4-Aminoacetanilide is used as in intermediate in the production of some dyes.^[5] 4-aminoacetanilide is also used for the synthesis of beta-lactams.^[6]
