2-Ethylbutanedioic acid

Description:

2-Ethylbutanedioic acid, also known as 2-ethylsuccinic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) attached to a four-carbon backbone with an ethyl substituent at the second carbon. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid and is soluble in water due to its polar carboxylic acid groups. It has a relatively low melting point and can exist in various forms, including crystalline and amorphous states. The presence of two carboxylic acid groups allows for the formation of hydrogen bonds, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. 2-Ethylbutanedioic acid is used in organic synthesis and can serve as a building block for various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals and polymers. Its derivatives may exhibit interesting biological activities, making it a subject of research in medicinal chemistry. As with many dicarboxylic acids, it can undergo esterification and other reactions typical of carboxylic acids, expanding its utility in chemical applications.

2-Ethylsuccinic acid

CAS: 636-48-6

2-Ethylsuccinic acid is a trifluoroacetic acid derivative. It can be used as a cationic surfactant, cross-linking agent, and a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMS) catalyst. 2-Ethylsuccinic acid has been shown to react with calcium carbonate, hydroxyl group, or divalent hydrocarbon to form a film-forming polymer. This compound also has the ability to form polycarboxylic acids when reacted with glycol ethers and aluminium. 2-Ethylsuccinic acid is used as a solid catalyst for the acylation reaction of amines and alcohols.
