Product Description:

Glutaconic acid is an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C5H6O4. It exists in two isomeric forms, (E)- and (Z)-, with the (E)-isomer being more stable and common. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid. Its primary role is as a versatile organic synthesis building block. The conjugated double bond and two carboxylic acid groups make it a valuable monomer for the synthesis of polymers, particularly polyesters and functionalized materials. It is also used in organic synthesis to construct heterocyclic compounds and as a precursor for other fine chemicals. Research explores its potential in creating biodegradable polymers and as a component in materials science. Glutaconic acid should be handled with care as it may cause skin and eye irritation. It is soluble in water and common organic solvents like ethanol and acetone.
