What is meant by mixed anhydride?(a) Slow hydrolysis(b) Controlling hydrolysis(c) Vigorous hydrolysis(d) None of the mentionedI had been asked this question during an internship interview.My doubt stems from Hydrolysing Agents topic in portion Hydrolysis of Unit Processes

Answer»

Right option is (c) Vigorous hydrolysis

To ELABORATE: Mixed anhydrides, among which, for convenience, are included the acid halides, react with vigour, especially ACETYL CHLORIDE, which is more reactive than acetic ANHYDRIDE itself. In general, the stronger the two acids in these mixed anhydrides, the more vigorous the hydrolysis.
