Application

Adipic acid can be used as a starting material in the preparation of:Aliphatic polyesters by reacting with ethyleneglycol/1,3 propyleneglycol/1,4-butanediol using inorganic acid as a catalyst.Cyclopentanone using a weak base such as Na₂CO₃.Linear polybutylene adipate (PBA) having carboxylic acids at the terminals by reacting with 1,4-butanediol.

General description

Adipic acid is a straight-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, commonly used in the manufacturing of nylon-6,6 and plasticizers. Conventionally it was manufactured from petrochemicals but in recent days it can be synthesized from renewable substrates by means of biological methods.
