Butanetetracarboxylicacid

Description:
Butanetetracarboxylic acid, also known as 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its four carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups attached to a four-carbon butane backbone. This compound is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits strong acidity due to the presence of multiple carboxylic acid groups. Its structure allows for the formation of various derivatives and complexes, making it useful in organic synthesis and as a building block in the production of polymers and other chemical compounds. Butanetetracarboxylic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, and is of interest in the fields of materials science and biochemistry. Additionally, its ability to form chelates with metal ions enhances its utility in catalysis and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to skin and eyes.
