Product Information
Name:Maleic anhydride
Synonyms:
- 2,5-Furandione
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Maleic anhydride is the monomer of an aliphatic unsaturated anhydride that reacts with a hydroxyl group to form an ester. It has been used as a chemical intermediate, as well as in the production of polymers. Maleic anhydride is also used in the manufacture of some inhalers and nebulizers to deliver drugs to the lungs. Maleic anhydride has inhibitory properties against chronic bronchitis, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the formation of 2-aminoterephthalic acid from terephthalic acid and ammonia. Maleic anhydride can be used for the oxidation of various alcohols and amines, but it does not oxidize carboxylic acids or aromatic compounds. Maleic anhydride is soluble in water vapor and reacts with oxygen in air at elevated temperatures, forming maleates and water. FTIR spectroscopy can be used to identify this compound by examining its absorption bands
