Do the following conversions in not more than two steps :
Ethyl benzene to Benzoic acid
Write the structures of the monomers used for getting the following polymers:
Melamine – formaldehyde polymer
Give reasons:
Acetylation of aniline reduces its activation effect.
Acetylation of aniline reduces its activation effect Because it result in decrease of electron density on nitrogen. Due to the resonance, the electron pair of nitrogen atom gets delocalised towards carbonyl group therefore so activation effect reduces.
