Anhydrides from diketene instead of ketene?
Can acetic anhydride be made from diketene and acetic acid?

Most likely, you would end up with the mixed anhydride of acetic and acetoacetic acid.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Diketene can be converted to ketene. But usually ketene is consumed as it is formed, and diketene is never produced.
