Hexanoic anhydride

Hexanoic anhydride is a reactive chemical compound utilized as a key reactant in the synthetic pathway for acremomannolipin A. Applied in the green synthesis of acyclovir ester prodrugs to enhance bioavailability, and employed in the preparation of hexanoyl-modified chitosan nanoparticles through N-acylation reactions to create chitosan-based polymeric surfactants and drug delivery systems.
