2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an organic chemical compound consisting of two carboxylic acid groups attached to a central furan ring. It was first reported as dehydromucic acid by Rudolph Fittig and Heinzelmann in 1876, who produced it via the action of concentrated hydrobromic acid upon mucic acid . [ 2 ]
Dicarboxylic acids are used in the preparation of copolymers such as polyamides and polyesters. The most widely used dicarboxylic acid in the industry is adipic acid, which is a precursor in the production of nylon. Other examples of dicarboxylic acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid, two amino acids in the human body.
This dialdehyde can be oxidized to the dicarboxylic acid and to a diol. All of these derivatives have some use in polymer science. [13] Hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene gives tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (C 10 H 16), which is a component of jet fuel JP-10, [14] and rearranges to adamantane [15] [16] with aluminium chloride or acid at elevated ...
2,6-Naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 10 H 6 (CO 2 H) 2. This colorless solid is one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. This colorless solid is one of several isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid.
The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids can be carried out using a variety of reagents, but O 2 /air and nitric acid dominate as the oxidants on a commercial scale. Large scale oxidations of this type are used for the conversion of cyclohexanol alone or as a mixture with cyclohexanone to adipic acid. Similarly cyclododecanol is ...
Dibasic ester or DBE is an ester of a dicarboxylic acid.Depending on the application, the alcohol may be methanol or higher molecular weight monoalcohols. Mixtures of different methyl dibasic esters are commercially produced from short-chain acids such as adipic acid, glutaric acid, and succinic acid. [1]
Two major manufacturing routes exist for polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), i.e. an ester or an acid process, named according to whether the starting monomer is a diester or a diacid derivative, respectively. In both cases for PEN, the glycol monomer is ethylene glycol.
