Anhydrides are the chemical reaction of two carboxylic acids, which produces an acid anhydride and a water molecule.

CH3CH2COOH + CH3CH2COOH → CH3CH2COOCOCH2CH3 + H2O
propanoic acid + propanoic acid → hexanoic anhydride (propanoic propanoic anhydride)

Acid anhydrides are significant in organic chemistry as acid anhydrides are involved in esterification with alcohol as a reagent without an catalyst to form an ester[1].

(C2H5CO)2O + CH3 CH2OH → CH3CH2COOH + CH3CH2COCH2CH3

hexanoic anhydride + ethanol → propanoic acid + ethyl propanoate

propanoic propanoic anhydride

Esters are used for industrial purposes as such as flavouring and perfumes.
