Organic acid anhydride 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 being (RC(O))O. Symmetrical acid anhydrides of this type are named by replacing the word "acid" in the name of the parent carboxylic acid by the word "anhydride". Thus, (CHCO)O is called "acetic anhydride." Mixed (or unsymmetrical) acid anhydrides, such as acetic formic anhydride
11-Aminoundecanoic acid in low moisture absorption compared to polyamide 6 or polyamide 66. In addition, polyamide 11 has very good chemical stability, e.g. against hydrocarbons, low density, good thermal stability, weather resistance and is easy to process. 11-Aminoundecanoic acid 11-Aminoundecanoic acid is an organic compound with the formula HN(CH)COH. This white solid is classified as an amine and a fatty acid. 11-Aminoundecanoic acid is a precursor to Nylon-11. As practiced by Arkema, 11-aminoundecanoic acid is prepared industrially from undecylenic acid, which is derived from castor oil. The synthesis proceeds in four separate reactions: 1. Transesterification of castor oil to methyl ricinoleat: Crude
