acid anhydrides
Acid anhydrides are a class of organic compounds that are derived from acids (most commonly carboxylic and sulfonic acids) by removal of a molecule of water. They have the general formula R(CO)2R', where R and R' are any organic combining groups. Acid anhydrides are named by replacing 'acid' from the name of the parent acid with 'anhydride'. They are often used in organic synthesis for the conversion of alcohols into esters or amides, and in many condensation reactions. Acid anhydrides also react with water to produce their parent acids.
