About Benzoic anhydride, 97%

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Benzoic anhydride, an acylating agent registered under CAS number 93-97-0 with a typical assay of ≥97%. With the molecular formula C14H10O3, it has a molar mass of 226.23 g/mol. Systematically, it is named benzoyl benzoate. Alternative names: Benzoyl anhydride and Benzoic acid, anhydride.

The material typically appears as a white to off-white powder. Literature values give a melting point of 38-44 °C and a density of 1.199 g/mL at 25 °C. Store sealed in a dry, well-ventilated location away from incompatible materials. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include organic synthesis, pharmaceutical synthesis, fine chemical synthesis and dyes and pigments manufacture. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic and industrial research and textiles and dyeing.

Standard pack sizes are 100 g, 500 g and 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
