Phthalic anhydride ACS is a white organic compound characterized by its distinct odor. Its chemical formula is C6H4(CO)2O, and it serves as the anhydride of phthalic acid. This compound was the first commercially utilized anhydride derived from a dicarboxylic acid. It is also known by other names, including 1,3-Isobenzofurandione and 1,2-Benzene dicarboxylic acid anhydride. Currently, its production relies on the vapor phase oxidation of o-xylene and naphthalene. Phthalic anhydride is a versatile reagent that finds extensive application in chemical laboratories.
