Item Description:
As indicated by its organic chemistry, Ac2O is mainly used for acetylations leading to commercially significant materials. Its largest application is for the conversion of cellulose to cellulose acetate, which is a component of photographic film and other coated materials. Similarly it is used in the production of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), which is prepared by the acetylation of salicylic acid.[12] It is also used as a wood preservative via autoclave impregnation to make a longer lasting timber.

In starch industry, acetic anydride is a common acetylation compound, used for the production of modified starches (E1414, E1420, E1422)

Because of its use for the synthesis of heroin by the diacetylation of morphine, acetic anhydride is listed as a U.S. DEA List II precursor, and restricted in many other countries.[13]
