Butyric anhydride, or Butanoic anhydride, is a chemical compound with the formula (CH3CH2CH2CO)2O.It is a colorless liquid that smells strongly of butyric acid, formed by its reaction with the moisture in the air.
Because of its odor, butyric anhydride has use as a fumigant to drive bees from their hives in products such as Bee-Go.[1]
Butyric anhydride is a combustible, corrosive liquid. It is considered water sensitive.[2]
