For the safe handling of Propionic Anhydride being used in various ways in the chemical industry, the flash point and the autoignition temperature(AIT) of Propionic Anhydride was experimented. And, the lower explosion limit of propionic anhydride was calculated by using the lower flash point obtained in the experiment. The flash points of propionic anhydride by using the Setaflash and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers measured $60^{\circ}C$ and $61^{\circ}C$, respectively. The flash points of propionic anhydride by using the Tag and Cleveland open cup testers are measured $67^{\circ}C$ and $73^{\circ}C$. The AIT of propionic anhydride by ASTM 659E tester was measured as $280^{\circ}C$. The lower explosion limit by the measured flash point $60^{\circ}C$ was calculated as 1.37 Vol.%. It was possible to predict lower explosion limit by using the experimental flash point or flash point in the literature.

Chitin, the natural polymer has been known as harmless and innoxious material to human and has been also known to be biodegradable. Chitosan which was prepared by the deacetylation of chitin, was propionylated to obtain porous bead shaped propionyl chitosan and its possibility as a water-absorbant polymer was investigated. Propionyl chitosan porous bead was synthesized by acylation reaction using emulsion method of acetic acid solution and propionyl chitosan was partially crosslinked using ethyleneglycol diglycidyl ether. Through the experiment varying the moles of propionic anhydride, reaction time and reaction temperature, best results for water-absorption ability was obtained at reaction condition of 5 moles of propionic anhydride, 10 hours of reaction time and $22^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature. The absorption ability to the distilled water, various salt solutions, artificial urine and artificial blood, absorption time and retention of water of synthesized porous bead were investigated and also mechanical strength after crosslinking was determined.

We have involved the imine compound 1 in condensations with various nitrogenous reagents including hydrazine hydrate to construct differently substituted pyrimidines. One of the pyrimidines so obtained was further subjected to interactions with different reagents such as propionic acid, formic acid, ethyl chloroformate, acdetic anhydride, carbon disulphide, cyanogene bromide, triflauroacetic acid and ethyl chloroacetate which resulted in the formation of annulated heterocyclic systems as pairs of isomers in most cases as a result of Dimroth-type rearrangement.

A lysine determination method for low quantity of rice was modified from the original Dye-Binding Lysine (DBL) method used in the national standard in China [GB 4801-84, 1984]. By making use of the property that lysine does not bind to the crocein orange G dye after treated with propionic anhydride, the amount of lysine in rice samples could be determined directly by calculating the difference between the absorbances of the treated and the untreated samples. Various commercial rice samples were purchased from market and evaluated. Several methods were tested by varying both the sizes of the samples and the concentrations of the dye solutions. Results showed that when using 1.284 mM of crocein orange G dye solution and 15.5 mg of sample, the results were most reproducible. The corresponding lysine content in sample were $3.36\;{\pm}\;0.09\;mg/g$ and $3.35\;{\pm}\;0.19\;mg/g$ by traditional method and modified method, respectively. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the results (p>0.05).

The solid super acid catalyst $SO{_4}^{2-}$/$ZrO_2$ was prepared by impregnation method using $ZrO_2$ as the catalyst support. Catalyst forming was taken into consideration in order to separate catalyst from the mixture of cellulose acetate propionate (CAP). $Al_2O_3$ and sesbania gum powder were selected as binding agent and auxiliary agent respectively. The catalytic properties were evaluated through esterification of cellulose with acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride and characterized by XRD, FTIR and $NH_3$-TPD. In this paper, the effects of concentration of $H_2SO_4$ impregnated, calcination temperature, esterification temperature and esterification time on the yield, acyl content and viscosity of CAP were investigated. The results showed that $SO{_4}^{2-}/ZrO_2$ successfully catalyzed CAP synthesis over catalysts impregnated in 0.75 mol/L $H_2SO_4$ and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$. The yield, acetyl content and propionyl content of CAP reached the maximum value of 105.3%, 29.9% and 25.8% reacted at $50^{\circ}C$ for 8 h.

Three ester-type chitin derivatives were synthesized by reacting chitin with acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride and n-butyric anhydride to form acetyl chitin(AC), propionyl chitin(PC) and n-butyryl chitin(BC). Methanesulfonic acid was used as a catalyst. FT-IR spectra and solid state CP/MAS $^{13}C-NMR$ spectra of three chitin derivatives showed that the substituents were mainly incorporated in the $C_6$ position of chitin. The ester-type chititn derivatives were dissolved well in formic acid and swollen in aqueous acidic solution.
