Overview of Glutaric Anhydride

Glutaric Anhydride is an important organic cyclic anhydride widely used as a reactive intermediate in polymers, pharmaceuticals, resins, and specialty industrial chemical manufacturing. Chemically, Glutaric Anhydride is derived from glutaric acid through dehydration and is known for its high reactivity in acylation and condensation reactions.

From a molecular perspective, the glutaric anhydride structure consists of a five-membered cyclic anhydride ring formed from a straight-chain dicarboxylic acid. This structure makes it highly suitable for esterification, polymer crosslinking, and chemical modification processes. Glutaric Anhydride typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid with good stability under dry industrial conditions. It is identified in chemical documentation by the glutaric anhydride CAS number 108-55-4.

Due to its versatility and controlled reactivity, Glutaric Anhydride is primarily used in industrial synthesis.
