2,2-Dimethylsuccinic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
white crystalline powder
Uses
Derivatives of 2,2-dimethylsuccinic acid serve as precursors for the synthesis of specific isoprenoids[1]. The compound acts as a starting material for synthesizing dimethyl 2,2-dimethylsuccinate via esterification with methanol and sulfuric acid, and serves as a ligand in the preparation of the bio-MOF Cu-AD-DMSA alongside copper nitrate and adenine[1][3]. It reacts with (PyH)5[MoOCl4(H2O)]3Cl2 in the presence of base to afford pyridinium salts of the [Mo2O4Cl4(μ2-dmsH)]3− complex[2].
Definition
ChEBI: An alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid that is succinic acid substituted by two methyl groups at positions 2 and 2 respectively.
