1,1-Cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid, dipotassium salt

Description:

1,1-Cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid, dipotassium salt, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a cyclobutane ring with two carboxylic acid groups, both of which are deprotonated and associated with potassium ions. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to the presence of the ionic potassium salts. It exhibits properties typical of dicarboxylic acids, such as the ability to form esters and anhydrides, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and polymerization. The dipotassium salt form enhances its solubility and reactivity, making it useful in various applications, including as a buffering agent in biochemical processes. Additionally, it may have potential uses in agriculture as a fertilizer or soil amendment, given its nutrient content. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
