description The acetylation of amines is one of the most frequently used transformations in organic synthesis as it provides an efficient and inexpensive means for protecting amino groups in a multistep synthetic process. Acetylation of amine is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. This reaction can be catalyzed by Brönsted acid. In the mechanism, the acetic anhydride first accepts a proton at the carbonyl oxygen and this change enhances the positive charge on the carbonyl carbon. This protonation facilitates the successive addition of amine at the position to form a tetrahedral intermediate, determining step of the rate of the reaction. Computational method to study the reaction using acid catalysis [1] and an experimental work [2], agreed that this reaction takes place with the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. A theoretical study of acid acetylation of aniline from the analysis of intermediate of the reaction was carried out. Geometries of all species involved in the acetylation were made and identified.
