Product Information

• Name: trans-Cyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trans-cyclobutane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (trans-CBA) is a cycloalkane that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It has been shown to react with malonic acid to form a 1:1 adduct, which can be used for the synthesis of other cycloalkanes. Trans-CBA can also react with sodium salt of furfural to form the corresponding trans-CBA sodium salt. This reaction system has been optimized and is suitable for laboratory use. The molecular formula for trans-CBA is C4H4O4. The molecular weight of trans-CBA is 104.12 g/mol. Pharmacokinetic studies have been done on rats and dogs, showing that this molecule can be absorbed orally and distributed throughout the body quickly. Trans-CBA has a half life of 3 hours when administered orally, with an elimination half life of 6 hours when given intravenously.
