Phenacetin can be made using either the Williamson ether synthesis or the amide synthesis.

a. True
b. False


Sagot :

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Phnacetin can be produced using Williamson-ether synthesis. In this, phenacetin is derived from acetaminophen and the reaction involve interaction of alkoxide or phenoxide with a methyl or primary alkyl halide

In amide synthesis mechanism, acetic anhydride and phenetidine (p-ethoxyaniline)  react to phenacetin through a  nucleophilic acyl substitution

Hence, the given statement is true
