Acetic anhydride, ACS reagent grade, ≥98.0%, liquid

Acetic anhydride is an organic solvent. On dissolution in water it undergoes solvolysis to afford acetic acid. It is widely employed for the acetylation of various alcohols. Wacher process (starting reagent + a ketene) and Knapsack process (starting reagent = acetaldehyde) have been reported for the industrial preparation of acetic anhydride. Application Acetic anhydride has been used as one of the reaction components in the preparation of: 2-acetylamino-5-aminobenzenesulfonic acid 3,3′-bis(sulfonato)-4,4′-bis(chloroacetamido)azobenzene (BSBCA)[1] 10-acetoxy-9-nitro-octadecanoic acid, allyl ester[2] 9-nitro-oleic acid[2] It may be used for acetylation of anisole over HBEA zeolite in a batch reactor.
