Eddikesyreanhydrid

Acetic Anhydride is a carboxylic acid anhydride with the chemical formula (CH3CO)2O. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic vinegar-like odor and is widely recognized for its high reactivity.

 

Properties and Applications:

1. Acetylation:

• Acetic Anhydride is commonly used to acetylate amines and alcohols, adding acetyl groups to these compounds.

• This is crucial in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and other chemical intermediates.

2. Reaction with Water:

• Reacts exothermically with water to form acetic acid.

• This property is leveraged in controlled chemical reactions.

3. Photodegradation:

• Studies have shown that photodegradation of eddikesyreanhydrid can occur between 60-160°C.

• This insight is important for understanding its stability and reactivity under different conditions.

 

Safety:

• Corrosive: Can irritate or damage skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact.

• Protective Measures: Always use appropriate safety equipment (gloves, goggles, etc.) and handle in a well-ventilated area.

• Storage: Keep away from moisture and heat sources.

 

Acetic Anhydride is available in Bulk, IBC Containers, Drums, and Jerricans.
