Detailed Solution

  • In aniline, the amino group is an electron releasing group. 
  • It activates the benzene ring towards an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
  • When aniline is acetylated with acetyl chloride, acetanilide is formed.
  • CH3​CONH− group is less activating group than amino group.
  • Hence, activation of benzene by −NH2​ group can be reduced by treating the compound with acetyl chloride.
