  Anhydride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 Anhydride
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.

 Chemical of the Week -- Acetic Acid and Acetic Anhydride
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.

 MOTW: Acetic Anhydride
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 carboxylic anhydrides are hydrolyzed readily they can eliminate residual water in situations (such as a number of delicate chemical reactions) where dryness is important.
