Information of Succinic Acid:A dicarboxylic acid with chemical formula (CH
2)
2(CO
2H)
2. It is a white, odorless solid. In an aqueous solution, it ionizes to anions (that is, conjugates to a conjugate base) called succinate which plays a role in the citric acid cycle, an energy-yielding process in all living organisms. As a radical group it is called a succinyl group. The name derives from Latin
succinum, meaning amber, from which the acid may be obtained..
Safty:Succinic acid is an essential biosynthetic intermediate that occurs in all living creatures. Like most simple mono- and dicarboxylic acids, it is not dangerous but can be an irritant to skin and eyes....
INFORMATION OF SUCCNIC AICD: Succinic acid is a precursor to some polyesters. It is also a component of some alkyd resins. Global 1,4-butanediol (BDO), derived from succinic acid, market size was estimated at USD 4.72 billion in 2013. BDO is a precursor to THF, a solvent and monomer. BDO is also a precursor to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), an engineering-grade thermoplastic.
[10] The automotive and electronics industries heavily rely on PBT to produce connectors, insulators, wheel covers, gearshift knobs and reinforcing beams.
Succinic acid can be converted into fumaric acid by oxidation. The diethyl ester is a substrate in the Stobbe condensation. Dehydration of succinic acid gives succinic anhydride.
