Abstract
Anhydrides of carboxylic acids, more particularly, of aromatic, naphthenic and saturated aliphatic acids having at least one pair of carboxyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms, can be prepared by thermal decomposition of amine salts of the acids, with removal of the amine. The amine salts may be produced by aqueous hydrolysis of the corresponding nitriles, imides, or amides in the presence of an amine, or by hydrolysis to the ammonium salts followed by conversion to the amine salt by stripping off ammonia in the presence of an amine.
