What is the difference between alkylation and acylation of amines? Could you please go through an example of each? (Alkylation is introduction of an alkyl group to the amine’s nitrogen. Example - preparation of lecithin from methyl iodide. Acylation is introduction of an acyl group to the amine’s nitrogen. Example - synthesis of acetaminophen from para-aminophenol. - GS).
