The synthesis of paracetamol was made through mixing p-aminophenol, acetic anhydride and hydrochloric acid. The product in the reaction is paracetamol and hydrochloric acid.
I know that this is a substitute reaction but me and my teacher are divided if it is an SN1 or SN2 reaction. I believe it is an SN2 while my teacher believes it is an SN1 reaction. I would be greatful if someone could give me a clear answer on if it is SN1 or SN2.
Excuse me if the language is not the best. English is not my first language.
