Reactivity Predictions (for each pair of reactive groups)

Phenols and Cresols mixed with
Anhydrides

Hazard Predictions

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).
