listen to the pronunciation of anhydride
English - English
any compound formally derived from another (or from others) by the loss of a water molecule, especially acid anhydrides
A chemical compound formed from another, often an acid, by the removal of water
An oxide or compound that, when combined with water, gives an acid or base
a compound formed from one or more other compounds in a reaction resulting in removal of water

Compound derived from other compound by removing elements composing water (hydrogen and oxygen)
Any chemical compound obtained, either in practice or in principle, by eliminating water (H2O) from another compound. Examples of inorganic anhydrides are sulfur trioxide, SO3, which is derived from sulfuric acid, H2SO4, and calcium oxide, CaO, which is derived from calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2. The most important organic anhydride is acetic anhydride, (CH3CO)2O, a raw material for making cellulose acetate (used for films, fibres, and plastic goods) and aspirin. It can be thought of as acetic acid minus water. Organic anhydrides are very important starting materials for organic synthesis, as they can give rise to carboxylic acids, esters, or amides under the proper conditions
An oxide of a nonmetallic body or an organic radical, capable of forming an acid by uniting with the elements of water; so called because it may be formed from an acid by the abstraction of water
{i} substance formed by dehydration (Chemistry)
acetic anhydride
A chemical compound with the formula (CH3CO)2O, consisting of two acetyl groups bound to an oxygen
acid anhydride
A class of organic compounds having two acyl groups bonded to the same oxygen atom. They react with water to give carboxylic acids
