Glutaric Anhydride (CAS 108-30-7, C5H6O3) is a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride produced via oxidation of glutaraldehyde or cyclopentanone. It serves as a critical acylating agent in organic synthesis.
Store in sealed containers below 25°C away from moisture. Requires PPE due to severe skin/eye irritation; hydrolyzes rapidly to glutaric acid upon contact with water.
