aminobenzene sulfonic acid will be synthesized, called sulfanilic acid. This will be done by (1) sulfonating an aniline with sulfuric acid. The first step in this reaction will be the formation of salt, anilinium bisulfate (2). When the salt becomes heated, it will then produce sulfanilic acid (3). Since the compound will contain both an acidic group, -SO3H, and a basic group, -NH2, an internal acid-base reaction can produce a dipolar ion (4). What is the mechanism for this reaction using proper curved arrow notation?
