When p-aminophenol reacts with one molar...

When p-aminophenol reacts with one molar equivalent of acetic anhydride, a compound acetaminophen (A, `C_(8)H_(9)NO_(2)`) is formed that dissolves in dilute NaOH. When A is treated with one equivalent of NaOH followed by ethyl iodide, compound B is formed. What is the structure of B? Explain your reasoning.
