Anhydride | Organic, Synthetic, Reactive | Britannica Anhydride, any chemical compound obtained, either in practice or in principle, by the elimination of water from another compound Examples of inorganic anhydrides are sulfur trioxide, SO3, which is derived from sulfuric acid, and calcium oxide, CaO, derived from calcium hydroxide
Properties of Anhydrides - Chemistry LibreTexts If you took two ethanoic acid molecules and removed a molecule of water between them you would get the acid anhydride, ethanoic anhydride (old name: acetic anhydride) You can actually make ethanoic anhydride by dehydrating ethanoic acid, but it is normally made in a more efficient, round-about way

Anhydride - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Anhydride is defined as a class of compounds in chemistry where monomer units are linked via an anhydride bond, (RC(O))2O These compounds are known for their biodegradability and are used in drug delivery and biomedical devices due to their ability to degrade into non-toxic products in vivo
