I recently got 10 liters of it, but now I dont know what do to with it.
All I know about that stuff is that it is used as solvent for paints, celluloses, resins and others and as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals of some kind.
Also, can anyone please tell me if it is possible to make acetic anhydride using that compound, because i founded on net that methyl acetate is somehow used to make it (AcO2) and they are chemically similar if I am not wrong.

Thanks for help!
