Description

Fumaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is used in the treatment of bowel disease. This compound is a fumarate, which means it has two carboxylic acid groups and one hydroxyl group. Fumaric acid reacts with copper chloride to form water vapor, which can be toxic if inhaled. Fumaric acid also exhibits antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi and can be used as a pharmacological agent for the treatment of various diseases. Fumaric acid's chemical properties are similar to those of sodium salts, which may explain its use in a number of products such as injections or solutions. Structural analysis reveals that the molecular shape of fumaric acid is linear with three hydrogen atoms on each side of the central carbon atom.
