SUCCINIC ACID FOR SYNTHESIS
Succinic acid is synthesized as an intermediate of the TCA cycle , operating under aerobic conditions, from α-ketoglutaric acid by α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. ... Succinic acid is produced as an end product by the reductive TCA cycle , under anaerobic conditions.
It is a common organic acid, which can be used in many food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries as a precursor to generate many chemicals such as solvents, perfumes, lacquers, plasticizer, dyes, and photographic chemicals. Succinic acid is also used as an antibiotic and curative agent.
Succinic acid is a colorless crystalline solid with a melting point of 185-187° C. It is soluble in water, slightly dissolves in ethanol, ether, acetone and glycerine. It does not dissolve in benzene, carbon sulfide, carbon tetrachloride or oil ether.
succinic acid is the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic acid or its anhydride, although other methods are being used and investigated. Succinic acid has uses in certain drug compounds, in agricultural and food production, and in manufacturing.
