CAS 14292-29-6

3-Hydroxyadipic acid

Description:

3-Hydroxyadipic acid, with the CAS number 14292-29-6, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxyl (-COOH) groups and a hydroxyl (-OH) group on its carbon chain. It is an isomer of adipic acid, differing in the position of the hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. The presence of both hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups allows for various chemical reactivity, making it useful in the synthesis of polyesters and other polymers. Additionally, 3-hydroxyadipic acid can serve as a building block in organic synthesis and may have applications in the production of biodegradable materials. Its properties, such as melting point and boiling point, can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. Overall, 3-hydroxyadipic acid is significant in both industrial applications and research contexts, particularly in the development of sustainable materials.
