  2. Adipic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipic_acid

    Adipic acid or hexanedioic acid is the organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 (COOH) 2. From an industrial perspective, it is the most important dicarboxylic acid : about 2.5 billion kilograms of this white crystalline powder are produced annually, mainly as a precursor for the production of nylon .

  3. Dicarboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarboxylic_acid

    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. The name can be abbreviated to diacid; long chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acids are known as fatty diacids.

  4. Carboxylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylate

    Carboxylate ion Acrylate ion. In organic chemistry, a carboxylate is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid, RCOO − (or RCO − 2). It is an anion, an ion with negative charge. Carboxylate salts are salts that have the general formula M(RCOO) n, where M is a metal and n is 1, 2,....

  5. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (−C(=O)−OH) [1] attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is often written as R−COOH or R−CO 2 H, sometimes as R−C(O)OH with R referring to an organyl group (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, aryl), or hydrogen, or other groups ...

  6. 2-Oxoadipic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Oxoadipic_acid

    2-Oxoadipic acid, also known as α-ketoadipic acid, is an intermediate in the metabolism of lysine and tryptophan. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The conjugate base and carboxylate is 2-oxoadipate or α-ketoadipate , which is the biochemically relevant form.

  7. Nylon 66 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_66

    Nylon 66 is synthesized by polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. Equivalent amounts of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid are combined in water. In the original implementation, the resulting ammonium/carboxylate salt was isolated and then heated either in batches or continuously to induce polycondensation.

  9. Carboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylation

    Carboxylation is a chemical reaction in which a carboxylic acid is produced by treating a substrate with carbon dioxide. [1] The opposite reaction is decarboxylation.In chemistry, the term carbonation is sometimes used synonymously with carboxylation, especially when applied to the reaction of carbanionic reagents with CO 2.
