1 Phthalic anhydride is the organic compound with the formula C8H4O3. This anhydride of phthalic acid, a colourless solid, is an important industrial chemical, especially for the large-scale production of plasticizers for plastics.
2 Applications in industry and organic synthesis
Phthalic anhydride is a versatile intermediate in organic chemistry, in part because it is bifunctional and cheaply available. It undergoes hydrolysis and alcoholysis. Hydrolysis by hot water forms ortho-phthalic acid. This process is reversible: Phthalic anhydride re-forms upon heating the acid above 180 ° C.
3 Hydrolysis of anhydrides is not typically a reversible process. However, phthalic acid is easily dehydrated to form phthalic anhydride due to the creation of a thermodynamically favorable 5-membered ring.

6. Handing and Storage
Handling General advice:
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Avoid dust formation. Dust can form an explosive mixture with air. Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Electrical devices must meet the specified temperature class.
Storage General advice:
Protect against moisture. Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place.
