When an amine reacts with an acid anhydride, an amide is formed as the product. Here's a general balanced chemical equation for the reaction:R-NH2 +  R'CO 2O  R-NH-CO-R' + R'COOHwhere R and R' are alkyl or aryl groups.The product obtained is an amide, specifically an N-substituted amide, and a carboxylic acid.
