Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The products formed when acetic anhydride reacts with the given compounds are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Carboxylic anhydrides are acidic anhydrides where the water molecules in carboxylic acids are removed. These anhydrides have the same boiling point when compared to esters and acyl chlorides of the same molecular weight.
Acetic anhydride, as one of the carboxylic anhydrides, produces various compounds when it reacts with different types of organic and inorganic compounds.
When acetic anhydride is reacted with an excess of ammonia, acetamide and ammonium acetate are formed.
When acetic anhydride reacts with water, it gets hydrated and acetic acid is formed.
When acetic anhydride reacts with propyl alcohol, it generates propyl acetate and acetic acid.
Acetic anhydride reacts with benzene and aluminum chloride to produce acetophenone and acetic acid.
When acetic anhydride reacts with an excess of ethylamine, it forms N-ethyl acetamide and a stabilized compound of amide.
Acetic anhydride with an alcohol compound in the presence of pyridine gives ester and a
