Acetic anhydride Uses

 Acetic anhydride (CAS NO.108-24-7) is mainly used for acetylations leading to commercially significant materials. It is mainly used for the conversion of cellulose to cellulose acetate, which is a component of photographic film and other coated materials. For the same reason  it is used in the production of aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, which is prepared by the acetylation of salicylic acid. It is also used as a wood preservative via autoclave impregnation to make a longer lasting timber. In starch industry, Acetic anydride is a common acetylation compound, used for the production of modified starches.

Acetic anhydride Production

  Acetic anhydride (CAS NO.108-24-7) may be produced by three different methods.
The first procedure involves the in situ production from acetaldehyde of peracetic acid, which in turn reacts with more acetaldehyde to yield the anhydride.
          CH3CH=O + O2 → CH3C(=O)OH
  CH3C(=O)OH + CH3C=O → CH3C(=O)O(O=)CCH3 + H2O
In the preferred process, acetic acid (or acetone) is pyrolyzed to ketene, which reacts with acetic acid to form acetic anhydride.
          CH3C(=O)OH → CH2=C=O + H2O
    CH2=C=O + CH3C(=O)OH → CH3C(=O)O(O=)CCH3
Another process to make acetic anhydride involves carbon monoxide insertion into methyl acetate.
       CH3C(=O)OCH3 → CH3C(=O)O(O=)CCH3
