(a)
Interpretation:
The expected products formed when acetic formic anhydride reacts with aniline and benzyl alcohol is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Anhydrides undergo many of the reactions as same as acid chlorides. Anhydrides are easily converted to less reactive acid derivatives as well as they participate in the Friedel-crafts acylation. Many reactions of anhydrides involve the loss of one of the two acid molecules as a leaving group. Anhydrides often give better yields than acetyl chloride for acetylation of alcohols.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanisms for the given rections are to be proposed.
