GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS

Succinic Acid  (also called Butanedioic Acid) is a dicarboxylic acid with four carbon atoms, occurring naturally plant and animal tissues and that plays a significant role in intermediary metabolism (Krebs cycle). It is a colourless crystalline solid with a melting point of 185-187º C, soluble in water, slightly dissolved in ethanol, ether, acetone and glycerine, but not dissolved in benzene, carbon sulfide, carbon tetrachloride and oil ether. The common method of synthesis of succinic acid is the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic acid or its anhydride. Succinic acid has uses in certain drug compounds, in agricultural and food production, and in perfume esters manufacturing. Succinyl chloride methyl ester is used in preparing synthetic vitamins, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other organic compounds.
