Making Acid Anhydrides from Carboxylic Acids

[@esmfamil5086]

Feels like a friend just explained this to me. Thank you for explaining everything even the little things that other teachers assume we should know. Thanks man and great job

I haven't got any answers to this: CAN I make acetic anhydride from 98,9 % glacial acetic acid with sulfuric acid catalyst? OR will it be Caro's acid? And I like your videos. Very simple, good and informative. Greets from Finland!

Unfortunately in practice the direct dehydration of GAA to AA does not occur at all. People have tried using even P2O5 but to no avail. you can check out Internet Archive/bitchute for ChemPlayer's video on that. There are a few practical ways to make AA, some easier than the other. 1. Classical reaction between acetyl chloride and GAA. But good luck finding acetyl chloride 2. Urea + GAA -> acetamide --P2O5--> acetonitrile --some magic voodoo--> AA 3. S + Br2 or Chlorine -> S2Br2/S2Cl2 + anhydrous sodium acetate -> AA 4. Acetone heated to 1000C -> ketene dissolves in GAA -> AA (ketene has toxicity roughly equal to HCN)

Is this a reduction of the acid?

[@xak-5alwanfauzirrohman236]

may I ask about acid anhydride. the question is whether acid anhydride can only be formed from 1 carboxylic acid compound together, if 2 carboxylic acid compounds cannot?? For example, mr. explained that only 1 compound was reacted - ethanoic acid and ethanoic acid to give ethanoic anhydride can ethanoic acid react with propionic acid to form acid anhydride? that is all and thank you

[@nathanvinicius3381]

Thanks for the class! I learned a lot. Could you answer a question please? Are carboxylic anhydrides more or less reactive than carboxylic acids as adsorption sites for metals? Thanks

[@MrYahya0101]

Is it okay to write the protonation of the carboxylic acid and the attack by the other carboxylic acid in one step?

[@jOeCHEM]

Hi, Youssef! In my experience, showing combined steps like that is absolutely valid, but it can sometimes be ‘ok’ or ‘not ok’ depending on the style of your instructor. So as long as the arrows all result in valid steps, and your instructor is ok with you doing that, it should absolutely be ok 👍 (I also like to combine protonation and attack steps but when showing things I keep them separate for better illustration)

[@akshaybalaji6602]

Great explanation thanks! Btw, your side view gives Ronaldo vibes

[@fmdj]

hmm I thought this procedure didn't work with acetic acid...
