Hazard Predictions
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Acid anhydrides will react with alcohols or phenols to produce esters and carboxylic acids. This reaction proceeds without catalyst, however it will be accelerated with acid or base catalyst present (Smith, Michael B.; March, Jerry (2007).
