Isobutyric anhydride is a reagent in the production of the ester of cyclohexanone oxime.[5]

Applications

edit

Isobutyric anhydride is used as an acylating agent in organic synthesis. Its primary application is in the production of esters, such as cyclohexanone oxime.[5] Isobutyric anhydride is used in the synthesis of various dyes.[6] It is also used in the production of cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose isobutyrate and cellulose acetate isobutyrate.[7][8] Another application of isobutyric anhydride is in the synthesis of various chemical derivatives. For example, it is used to produce 4-O-isobutyryl derivatives of monosaccharides.[9]
