Application

Propionic anhydride can be used as an acylating agent for the lipase-catalyzed esterification of alcohols. Recent studies indicate that the particle boards manufactured from wood chips modified with propionic anhydride show enhanced dimensional stability.

Polyethylenimine (750 kDa) has been derivatized to influence the proton sponge mechanism and hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance. The polymer was acylated using acid anhydrides of varying carbon chain length, followed by cross-linking with PEG-bis-P to form compact nanoparticles. The chemical linkages in
