Phenacetin from Acetaminophen (continued on the next page): (1) (2 pts) Draw the mechanism for each step in the transformation from this experiment. (2) (2 pts) Explain why the reaction below would not have worked to make phenacetin. Use what you have learned in lecture about substitution and elimination reactions. (3) (1 pt) If acid/base reactions are as fast as everyone says they are, why did you have to heat under reflux in the deprotonation step? (4) (2 pts) Acetaminophen can be made by the reaction of \( p \)-aminophenol and acetic anhydride as shown in the following balanced equation. What amount of acetic anhydride (in \( \mathrm{mL} \) ) is needed in order to make \( 2.95 \) grams of acetaminophen? Show your work for full credit.
