CAS 1461-94-5: cis-cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid
Description:Cis-cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid is a cyclic dicarboxylic acid characterized by its four-membered ring structure, which includes two carboxylic acid functional groups located at the 1 and 2 positions of the cyclobutane ring. This compound is known for its unique geometric configuration, specifically the "cis" arrangement, where the carboxylic acid groups are on the same side of the ring, influencing its reactivity and physical properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups. The compound exhibits typical acid behavior, including the ability to donate protons in solution. Its structural rigidity, stemming from the cyclobutane framework, can lead to interesting conformational properties and potential applications in organic synthesis and materials science. Additionally, cis-cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and decarboxylation, making it a valuable intermediate in organic chemistry.
