Organic acid anhydride case, the name of the acyl group is enclosed in parentheses to avoid ambiguity in the name, e.g., (thioacetic) anhydride (CHC(S)OC(S)CH). When two acyl groups are attached to the same sulfur atom, the resulting compound is called a thioanhydride, e.g., acetic thioanhydride ((CHC(O))S). Organic acid anhydride An organic acid anhydride is an acid anhydride that is an organic compound. An acid anhydride is a compound that has two acyl groups bonded to the same oxygen atom. A common type of organic acid anhydride is a carboxylic anhydride, where the parent acid is a carboxylic acid, the formula of the anhydride
Phenylarsonic acid was first prepared by Michaelis and Loenser. X-ray crystallography indicates that the molecules are connected by hydrogen-bonds consistent with short distance of 2.5 Å separating the oxygen atoms. The arsenic center is tetrahedral. Several derivatives of phenylarsonic acid have been used as additives for animal feeds. These include 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzenearsonic acid (3-NHPAA, or Roxarsone), "p"-arsanilic acid ("p"-ASA), 4-nitrophenylarsonic acid (4-NPAA), and "p"-ureidophenylarsonic acid ("p"-UPAA). Phenylarsonic acid Phenylarsonic acid is the chemical compound with the formula CHAsO(OH), commonly abbreviated PhAsOH. This colourless solid is an organic derivative of arsenic acid, AsO(OH), where one OH group has been replaced by a phenyl group.
