The main problem encountered during electrophilic substitution reactions of aromatic amines is that of their very high reactivity. Substitution tends to occur at ortho and parapositions. If we have to prepare monosubstituted aniline derivative, how can the activating affect of `-NH_2` group be controlled? This can be done by protecting the `-NH_2` group by acetylation with acetic anhydride, then carrying out the desired substitution followed by hydrolysis of the substituted amide to the substituted amine.
