The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetic anhydride has been studied by Kilpatrick (I) and by Gold and I-Iilton (23). It is i~sually accepted that the first step
The hydrolysis of acetic anhydride (Ac2O) to acetic acid (AcOH) serves as a Lowry T.H.; Richardson
The hydrolysis reaction of acetic anhydride in a water/acetone cosolvent systems forming acetic is pseudo-first order. The reaction mechanism begins by acetic
The acid hydrolysis of trimethylacetic anhydride follows an A-2 mechanism in both water and aqueous di- oxane and is slower than that of acetic anhydride.
The latter mechanism is discarded for carboxylic acid derivatives with good leaving groups two mechanisms; benzoic anhydride hydrolysis.
The mechanism of anhydride hydrolysis is discussed. Although the hydrolysis of aromatic esters acid chlorides and amides has been frequently studied.
Esters are hydrolyzed with water in the presence of either acid or base to form carboxylic acids or carboxylate anions respectively. Reactions of Esters. •
* Acetic Anhydride is a HIGHLY CORROSIVE. CHEMICAL and contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes with possible eye damage. * Breathing Acetic
Learn the major chemical reaction of carboxylic acids and esters and learn how to predict the products of ester synthesis and hydrolysis reactions.

Hydrolysis of Acid Derivatives (21-7) This reaction is the reason all of these compounds are considered acid derivatives because they produce carboxylic acids upon hydrolysis This reaction can be performed under acidic or basic conditions Acid Chlorides/Anhydrides These two compounds are so reactive that the
• Amides are hydrolyzed in acid or base to form carboxylic acids or carboxylate anions • In acid the amine by-product is protonated as an ammonium ion whereas in base a neutral amine forms Reactions of Amides • The mechanism of amide hydrolysis in acid is the same as the mechanism of ester hydrolysis in acid
Hydrolysis of Maleic Anhydride Anhydrides are derivatives of carboxylic acids All derivatives ofcarboxylic acids can be converted to the corresponding acid through reactionwith water Some less reactive derivatives require an catalyst for thereaction to occur in a reasonable time but anhydrides do not
two-step mechanism for simple hydrolysisbelow room temperatureand a single-step mechanism for propanoate- and butanoate-catalyzed hydrolysis for all temperatures Implications of these results and comparison with acetic anhydride hydrolysis are discussed
Hydrolysis of the anhydride ~6-mL of distilled water was added to 1 23 g of anhydride and the mixture heated until boiling The diacid was crystallized in an ice-water bath and collected via vacuum filtration Melting points and test for unsaturations (Bromine and Baeyer test)
