Propionic Anhydride is primarily used as a raw material and acylating agent for cellulose acetate propionate, dyes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrance chemicals. It is miscible with most organic solvents. The product hydrates with water and decomposes with alcohol.
Celanese Propionic Anhydride is well suited for use in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrance chemicals.
What is Propionic Anhydride?Propionic Anhydride is an organic compound that reacts exothermically with water. The reactions are sometimes slow but can become violent when accelerated with local heating. Propionic Anhydride is incompatible with acids, strong oxidizing agents, amines, and bases. Reaction with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Density of Propionic Anhydride is 1.02 g/cm³.
Why Propionic Anhydride?Widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis and dehydrating agent in some sulfonations and nitrations, Propionic Anhydride is soluble in both water and alcohol. Learn more about Propionic Anhydride structure and applications, please contact Celanese today .
