Acid anhydride on reaction with primary amine give:

  1. Amide
  2. Imide
  3. Secondary amine
  4. Imine

Correct answer: Amide

Solution

Acid anhydrides are acylating agents, and primary amines undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution with them. This gives an amide (often plus a carboxylic acid or carboxylate byproduct), not an imide or amine.
