Being a diester, diethyl succinate is a particularly versatile building block. It participates in acyloin condensation to give 2-hydroxycyclobutanone. [1] Via condensation with oxalate esters, it serves as a precursor to ketoglutaric acid. [2]
The Stobbe condensation entails the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with an ester of succinic acid to generate alkylidene succinic acid or related derivatives. [1] The reaction consumes one equivalent of metal alkoxide. Commonly, diethylsuccinate is a component of the reaction. The usual product is salt of the half-ester.
The direct esterification of succinic acid with 1,4-butanediol is the most common way to produce PBS. It consists of a two step process. First, an excess of the diol is esterified with the diacid to form PBS oligomers with elimination of water. Then, these oligomers are trans-esterified under vacuum to form a high molar mass polymer.
Succimer is an isomer of 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid. 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid is the organosulfur compound with the formula HO 2 CCH(SH)CH(SH)CO 2 H. This colorless solid contains two carboxylic acid and two thiol groups, the latter being responsible for its mildly unpleasant odour.
In chemistry, 2,2,3,3-tetramethylsuccinic acid or 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane-1,4-dioic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the formula C 8 H 14 O 4, or HOOC-C(CH 3) 2-C(CH 3) 2-COOH. [1] [2] It can be seen as derivative of succinic acid (butane-1,4-dioic acid) with two methyl groups replacing two hydrogen atoms on each of the central carbon atoms ...
Succinic acid (/ s ə k ˈ s ɪ n ɪ k /) is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula (CH 2) 2 (CO 2 H) 2. [5] In living organisms, succinic acid takes the form of an anion, succinate, which has multiple biological roles as a metabolic intermediate being converted into fumarate by the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase in complex 2 of the electron transport chain which is involved in making ...
For example, diethyl oxalate condenses with cyclohexanone to give the diketo-ester, a precursor to pimelic acid. [8] With diamines, the diesters of oxalic acid condense to give cyclic diamides. Quinoxalinedione is produced by condensation of dimethyloxalate and o-phenylenediamine: C 2 O 2 (OMe) 2 + C 6 H 4 (NH 2) 2 → C 6 H 4 (NHCO) 2 + 2 MeOH
Dimethyl malonate is a diester derivative of malonic acid. It is a common reagent for organic synthesis used, for example, as a precursor for barbituric acid. It is also used in the malonic ester synthesis. It can be synthesized from dimethoxymethane and carbon monoxide. [2]
