In this video we are preparing acetic anhydride (Ac2O) from acetyl chloride (AcCl) and anhydrous sodium sulfate. This video is for demonstration purposes only.

In many places acetic anhydride is illegal. Make sure to check the laws in your country yourself before even thinking about this synthesis.
