'''Acetic anhydride''', or '''ethanoic anhydride''', is the ] with the ] {{chem2|(CH3CO)2O}}. Commonly abbreviated {{chem2|]2O}}, it is the simplest isolable ] of a ] and is widely used as a ] in ]. It is a colorless liquid that smells strongly of ], which is formed by its reaction with moisture in the air.

==Structure and properties==
]
Acetic anhydride, like most acid anhydrides, is a flexible molecule with a nonplanar structure.<ref>{{Citation | doi = 10.1107/S2053229616015047 | title = Acetic anhydride at 100 K: the first crystal structure determination | year = 2016 | last1 = Seidel | first1 = R.

Like most acid anhydrides, the carbonyl carbon atom of acetic anhydride has ], as the leaving group is ]. The internal asymmetry may contribute to acetic anhydride's potent electrophilicity as the asymmetric geometry makes one side of a carbonyl carbon atom more reactive than the other, and in doing so tends to consolidate the electropositivity of a carbonyl carbon atom to one side (see electron density diagram).

==Production==
Acetic anhydride was first synthesized in 1852 by the French chemist ] (1816-1856) by heating ] with ].<ref>Charles Gerhardt (1852) (Investigations into the anhydrides of organic acids), ''Comptes rendus'' … , '''34''' : 755-758.</ref>

Acetic anhydride is produced by ] of ]:<ref>{{citation | last1 = Zoeller | first1 = J. R. | last2 = Agreda | first2 = V. H. | last3 = Cook | first3 = S. L. | last4 = Lafferty | first4 = N.

The ] involves the conversion of methyl acetate to ] and an acetate salt. Carbonylation of the methyl iodide in turn produces ], which reacts with acetate salts or acetic acid to give the product. ] in the presence of ] is employed as catalysts. Because acetic anhydride is not stable in water, the conversion is conducted under anhydrous conditions.

To a decreasing extent, acetic anhydride is also prepared by the reaction of ketene (]) with acetic acid at 45–55&nbsp;°C and low pressure (0.05–0.2&nbsp;bar).<ref name="Arpe">{{citation | last = Arpe | first = Hans-Jürgen | title = Industrielle organische Chemie: Bedeutende vor- und Zwischenprodukte | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=36kHHvzx6M8C&q=wacker+verfahren+essigs%C3%A4ureanhydrid&pg=PA200 | edition = 6th | publisher = Wiley-VCH | location = Weinheim | pages = 200–1 | isbn = 978-3-527-31540-6 | date = 2007-01-11 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.</ref>

The route from acetic acid to acetic anhydride via ketene was developed by ] in 1922,<ref>{{citation | title = Milestones in the history of WACKER | url = http://www.wacker.com/cms/en/wacker_group/wacker_facts/history/history.jsp | publisher = Wacker Chemie AG | access-date = 2009-08-27}}.</ref> when the demand for acetic anhydride increased due to the production of ].

Due to its low cost, acetic anhydride is usually purchased, not prepared, for use in research laboratories.

==Reactions==
Acetic anhydride is a versatile reagent for ]s, the introduction of acetyl groups to organic substrates.<ref>{{citation | title = Acid Anhydrides | url = http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/anhydridemenu.html | work = Understanding Chemistry | access-date = 2006-03-25}}.</ref> In these conversions, acetic anhydride is viewed as a source of {{chem2|CH3CO+}}.

===Acetylation of alcohols and amines===
]s and ]s are readily acetylated.<ref>{{citation | first = Bassam Z. | last = Shakhashiri | title = Acetic Acid & Acetic Anhydride | url = http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/CHEMWEEK/AceticAcid/AceticAcid.html | work = Science is Fun… | publisher = Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin | access-date = 2006-03-25 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060303081507/http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/AceticAcid/AceticAcid.html | archive-date = 2006-03-03 | url-status = dead }}.</ref> For example, the reaction of acetic anhydride with ] yields ]:
:{{chem2|(CH3CO)2O + CH3CH2OH -> CH3CO2CH2CH3 + CH3COOH}}

Aromatic rings are acetylated by acetic anhydride. Usually acid catalysts are used to accelerate the reaction. Illustrative are the conversions of ] to ]<ref>Roger Adams and C. R. Noller "p-Bromoacetophenone" Org.

==Applications==
As indicated by its organic chemistry, acetic anhydride is mainly used for acetylations leading to commercially significant materials.

Similarly it is used in the production of ] (acetylsalicylic acid), which is prepared by the acetylation of ].<ref name="SIDS">{{SIDS-ref|name=Acetic anhydride|id=108247|page=5}}{{Dead link|date=January 2024}}</ref> It is also used as an active modification agent via ] impregnation and subsequent acetylation to make a durable and long-lasting timber.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Tullo | first1=Alexander |title=Making Wood Last Forever With Acetylation |url=https://cen.acs.org/articles/90/i32/Making-Wood-Last-Forever-Acetylation.html |access-date=2022-09-17 |work=Chemical and Engineering News |issue=32 |publisher=American Chemical Society|date=2012-08-06 |issn=0009-2347 }}</ref>

In starch industry, acetic anhydride is a common acetylation compound, used for the production of ]es (E1414, E1420, E1422)

== Legal status ==
Because of its use for the synthesis of ] by the diacetylation of ], acetic anhydride is listed as a U.S. DEA List II precursor, and restricted in many other countries.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2022-02-15|title=§ 1310.02 - Substances Covered|url=https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-II/part-1310/section-1310.02|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220215120955/https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-II/part-1310/section-1310.02|archive-date=2022-02-15|website=]}}</ref><ref>{{citation | title = UN Intercepts Taliban's Heroin Chemical in Rare Afghan Victory | url = https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20670001&refer=home&sid=aY1eg_RtBNNU | publisher = ] | access-date = 2008-10-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022213218/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&refer=home&sid=aY1eg_RtBNNU |archive-date=22 October 2012|url-status=dead}}.</ref>

==Safety==
Acetic anhydride is an irritant and combustible liquid; it is highly corrosive to skin and any direct contact will result in severe burns.
