Description

Application

Succinicacid can be used as an organic additive in the synthesis of:

• 2-Benzyl substituted isoquinoline N-oxides by rhodium-catalyzed reaction with aryl oximes and secondary propargyl alcohols.
• Spiro-pyrimidine derivatives by cyclization reaction of 5-(2-alkohybenzylidene) barbituric acid.
• Allylselenol via reduction of allyl selenocyanate using lithium aluminum hydride.

It can also be used as a reactant to synthesize:

• Polyesters via catalyst-free polyesterification of glycerol and azelaic acid.
• Poly(glycerol-succinic acid) biodendrimers applicable in specific medical and biotechnological uses.
