Can someone tell me how to make pure acetic anhydride from anhydridous acetic acid?
Another easy synthesis will also be appreciated since I can't get the acetic anhydride from my chem suplier.
btw: I know this could have been discussed in previous times but I can't find it.

Look here http://roguesci.org/megalomania/synth/synthesis1.html#acetanhy
and here http://rhodium.lycaeum.org/chemistry/anhydrides.txt
There'll probably be some question as to why this is in High Explosives though.

Well, I know this thread is kinda old, but I just wanted to say, you can use acetic anhydride to make tet-nitro methane, an extremely unstable, powerful compound made by dripping acetic anhydride into fuming nitric acid and distilling.

Actually megalomania's page says tetranitromethane is of low sensitivity.. but high sensitivity when not pure!
