Oxaloacetic acid (also known as oxalacetic acid or OAA) is a crystalline organic compound with the chemical formula HO 2 CC(O)CH 2 CO 2 H. Oxaloacetic acid, in the form of its conjugate base oxaloacetate, is a metabolic intermediate in many processes that occur in animals.
Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4. This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4). It is a conjugate base of oxalic acid.
In enzymology, an oxaloacetase (EC 3.7.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: [1] oxaloacetate + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } oxalate + acetate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are oxaloacetate and H 2 O , whereas its two products are oxalate and acetate .
It is a reducing agent [9] and its conjugate bases hydrogen oxalate (HC 2 O − 4) and oxalate (C 2 O 2− 4) are chelating agents for metal cations. It is used as a cleaning agent, especially for the removal of rust , because it forms a water-soluble ferric iron complex, the ferrioxalate ion.
Sodium oxalate starts to decompose above 290 °C into sodium carbonate and carbon monoxide: [2]. Na 2 C 2 O 4 → Na 2 CO 3 + CO. When heated at between 200 and 525°C with vanadium pentoxide in a 1:2 molar ratio, the above reaction is suppressed, yielding instead a sodium vanadium oxibronze with release of carbon dioxide [6]

Copper(II) oxalate are inorganic compounds with the chemical formula CuC 2 O 4 (H 2 O) x. The value of x can be 0, 0.44, and 1. The value of x can be 0, 0.44, and 1. Two of these species are found as secondary minerals (degradation of minerals), whewellite (monohydrate) and moolooite (0.44 hydrate). [ 3 ]
Manganese oxalate is a chemical compound, a salt of manganese and oxalic acid with the chemical formula MnC 2 O 4. [2] [3] The compound creates light pink crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates. [4] It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite. [5]
