4-Methylphthalic anhydride is a compound that has been used as a synthetic intermediate in the production of polymers and pharmaceuticals. It is a colorless liquid with a strong odor. 4-Methylphthalic anhydride is soluble in organic solvents, but insoluble in water. The functional theory for the reaction of 4-methylphthalic anhydride with acid is that the acid acts as an acceptor, while the phthalic anhydride acts as an electron donor. In gel permeation chromatography, the molecular weight of 4-methylphthalic anhydride can be determined by measuring its rate of migration through a column filled with gel particles. A solution containing 4-methylphthalic anhydride and albumin can be used to measure serum bilirubin levels. The regression equation for this solution is: Y = -0.0042x + 0.7457 where Y represents serum bilirubin concentration and x represents
