The simplest acid anhydride is acetic anhydride, which formed by the reaction of acetic acid and acetic anhydride. Other examples include propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, and valeric anhydride.<\/li>\n<li>Acid anhydrides also used in a variety of industrial and laboratory applications. They commonly used as reagents in organic synthesis, and as catalysts in the production of plastics and synthetic fibers. Acid anhydrides also used as drying agents, and as corrosion inhibitors in metal finishing.<\/li>\n<li>Acid anhydrides are highly reactive compounds, and can be dangerous if mishandled.
