Trimellitic anhydride is a white and thinly flaked crystalline solid.
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to trimellitic anhydride, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
Clothing contaminated with trimellitic anhydride should be removed immediately, and provisions should be made for the safe removal of the chemical from the clothing.
In chemistry, an anhydride is a compound that can be considered as derived from another compound by subtracting the atoms of water.
Thus sodium oxide is an anhydride of sodium hydroxide, and sulfur trioxide is an anhydride of sulfuric acid.
Acetic anhydride is useful in the acetylation of salicylic acid, as using acetic acid to do the reaction leaves water behind that can destroy the product, acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin.

MALEIC ANHYDRIDE - (Organic Method #25)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
anhydride derivative is desorbed with methanol and analyzed by reverse phase HPLC with a UV detector.
The monoisopropyl ester of maleic acid was previously considered to be formed solely from the reaction of maleic anhydride with isopropanol and hence was the compound considered to exclusively represent the concentration of maleic anhydride.
Breakthrough of the maleic anhydride from the "A" section to the "B" section of the tube is primarily a function of the flow rate at which the derivative will all form on the "A" section and secondarily a function of the air volume at which migration of the derivative will take place.
In chemistry, an anhydride is typically an oxide of a nonmetallic element or an organic radical, capable of forming an acid by uniting with the elements of water.
The anhydride is so called because it may be formed from an acid by the removal of water.
Examples of inorganic anhydrides include dinitrogen tetroxide, which is the anhydride of nitric acid, and sulfur trioxide, which is the anhydride of sulfuric acid.
Acetic anhydride is a clear, colorless, mobile (free-flowing) liquid with a sharp odor similar to that of acetic acid.
Acetic anhydride melts at —73°C, boils at 139°C, and has a density of 1.080 g/mL at 15°C. It is flammable with a flash point of 54°C. This compound is readily combustible and represents a fire hazard.
Because acetic anhydride reacts with water, it is sometimes used as a dehydrating agent in reaction mixtures where removal of water is necessary.
The potential effects of chlorendic anhydride on organisms in the environment cannot be evaluated without data on the concentrations and fate processes of this compound in environmental compartments.
The mutagenicity of chlorendic anhydride was evaluated in a dominant lethal assay using four groups of 20 male CD-1 mice exposed orally by gavage at dose levels of 0, 22, 74 or 223 mg/kg in a single exposure (in DMSO vehicle).
The 48-h LC of chlorendic anhydride for Daphnia magna is 110.7 mg/litre; the 48-h NOEL is 56 mg/litre (Vilkas & Hutchinson, 1977).

But it is known that acidanhydride ligands are unique in that they form imide linkages with amino groups and also form neoantigens on autologous proteins (3).
Acidanhydride ligands are unique in that they form imide linkages with amino groups and also form neoantigens on autologous proteins (3).
In addition to allergic reactions, acidanhydrides are potent irritants (including to the skin), a property that could enhance epithelial penetration of chemicals and subsequent local sensitisation (11).

The composition of claim 1 wherein said maleic anhydride adduct is a maleic anhydride adduct of a hydrogenated multiblock copolymer of butadiene and styrene.
However, the patent does not disclose or suggest compositions containing maleic anhydride adducts of hydrogenated polymers of conjugated dienes or hydrogenated copolymers of conjugated dienes and vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons and graft copolymers of polyamides with maleic anhydride adducts of such hydrogenated polymers or copolymers as is the case in the compositions of the present invention.
Acetic anhydride is a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent odor.
Containers of acetic anhydride may explode in the heat of the fire and should be moved from the fire area if it is possible to do so safely.
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to acetic anhydride, the examining physician should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
One of the simplest anhydrides is shown in Figures 1 and 2, and is called acetic anhydride, after the parent acid, acetic acid.
Industrially, acetic anhydride is produced on a large scale by heating of acetic acid to high temperatures (800 to 1000 degrees Celsius).
Since carboxylicanhydrides are hydrolyzed readily they can eliminate residual water in situations (such as a number of delicate chemical reactions) where dryness is important.
Succinic anhydride, a food additive, is also used in the manufacture of polymeric materials, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural and industrial chemicals.
In the 13-week studies in rats, doses of succinic anhydride ranged from 25 to 400 mg/kg for males and from 12.5 to 200 mg/kg for females.
Succinic anhydride was administered as a suspension in corn oil by gavage, 5 days per week for 103 weeks.

Maleic anhydride dust and vapor causes irritation of the respiratory tract.
Maleic anhydride is a severe irritant and sensitizer of the skin.
Dry skin contact with maleic anhydride dust may result in a delayed burning sensation, but on moist skin the sensation is almost immediate, producing redness which may lead to blistering.
The reaction of anhydrides with water is often very violent and exothermic (giving off a great deal of heat energy).
Tread anhydrides with great respect, keeping them away from water and recognizing that they can be as dangerous or corrosive as their corresponding acid.
In forming the partial esters of the invention, about 0.1 to 49.9%, preferably about 30 to 45%, of the number of potential carboxyl groups present as acidanhydride groups in the anhydride-containing copolymer reactant are reacted with the hydroxyalkyl acrylyl compound, or admixture thereof with an aliphatic or an aralkyl alcohol.
Especially preferred reactants for preparation of the aforementioned free-anhydride containing copolymers used in the invention are styrene/maleic anhydride copolymers having a mole ratio of styrene to maleic anhydride of about 1:1 to 4:1, preferably 1:1 to 2:1.
any carboxyl groups present as a result of hydrolysis of original anhydride groups present in the copolymer, may be reconstituted to the anhydride state, in conventional manner by removing the water from the copolymer by azeotroping the copolymer with any convenient solvent that readily dissolves the resin.

For example, acetic anhydride, the most common anhydride, may be prepared from acetic acid by the steps of (1) cracking or pyrolyzing acetic acid to produce ketene and (2) reacting the ketene with acetic acid to produce acetic anhydride.
The reactive distillation column is operated at temperatures between the boiling points of the two symmetric anhydrides being produced at the pressure at which the column is operated.
Examples of such mixed anhydrides include those having the general formula RC wherein R is an alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl, including both carbocyclic and heterocyclic aryl, of up to 6 carbon atoms.
