| Production method | It is obtained by the reaction of aniline and formic acid. 2.8kg aniline, 2kg toluene and 3L formic acid were added into a flask equipped with a fractionation column, heated and dehydrated for half an hour, and the toluene was recovered by distillation to 110 ℃ after reaction. Cool, filter out the crystals, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain formanilide. |
