Description

Application

Mucic acid or galactaric acid can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of:

• 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetylgalactaric acid (AGA) which is used as a monomer unit along with adipic acid for the synthesis of copolyanhydrides.
• Muconic acid and adipic acid.

It can be also utilized in the surface modification of monodisperse water-soluble magnetic nanoparticles.
