CAS 108-24-7 — Acetic anhydride SG

Acetic anhydride (CAS 108-24-7) is a colorless, corrosive liquid used primarily in the production of cellulose acetate, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic fibers. It serves as an acetylating agent in organic synthesis and is essential for manufacturing aspirin and other esters. This chemical has a molecular formula of C4H6O3 and a molecular weight of 102.09 g/mol. It is stored at ambient temperatures but requires careful handling due to its hazardous nature, indicated by its "Danger" signal word. Molekula supplies acetic anhydride from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
