Demystify: 

Since it reacts with all those classes of materials, and since reactive materials shouldn't be stored in the same cabinet, it clearly should be stored alone.  Some of the cabinet people sell these wee one-gallon cabinets.  We use those in art departments for nitric on the same basis.  But we don't let them keep glacial acetic since they will be diluting it anyway.   Better to buy it diluted.

Hi:
 
How would ya'll store acetic anhydride =E2=80" flammable, corrosive, toxic, water reactive, toxic, and incompatible with acids, bases, alcohols, amines.
 
Yummy.
 
We've all been way down the rabbit hole around here without good consensus.
 
Thanks for your input.,

that proceeds smoothly under normal conditions,
can proceed violently in the presence of an idiot."
