Description

Valeric anhydride is a natural compound that can be found in the form of esters in plants and animals. It has antimicrobial properties and is used as an additive to pharmaceutical preparations, such as eye drops, to prevent bacterial contamination. Valeric anhydride also has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. This chemical is hydrophobic and can be dissolved in organic solvents such as acetone or ether. Valeric anhydride is a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain consisting of 10 carbons with a hydroxyl group on one end and two alkanoic acids on the other end. It is made up of both saturated and unsaturated bonds with a magnetic moment due to its electron resonance structure.
