In 27, Acylation of amines happens on nitrogen. However, 30 refers to OCH3 in parasubstituted anilines specifically

#

In all other cases, OCH3 decreases electron density

So in acetanilide, och3 group withdraws electrons, but in compounds like anisole, it releases electrons??

Acetanilide doesn't have an OCH3??

#

Acetanilide is C6H5NHAc

This is acetanilide

#

You're thinking of para anisidine
