Citraconic anhydride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to very slightly yellow liquid

Uses

Reagent for alkalies, alcohols, and amines.

Uses

Citraconic anhydride is used as a monomer for specialty unsaturated polyester resins. It is used to prepare bicyclic pyrrolidines, maleimides and co- and terpolymers. It is also used for the protection of N-terminal amino acids. Further, it is involved in the preparation of clothing ping acid and its amide. In addition to this, it is selectively used for the isolation of histidyl peptides.

Uses

Versatile reagent used for the synthesis of maleimides, bicyclic pyrrolidines, and co- and terpolymers, as well as for the protection of N-terminal amino acids.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Reactions

Citraconic anhydride is highly reactive due to the presence of anhydride groups and can undergo hydrolysis, esterification, amidation, and addition reactions.

Chemical Reactivity

Citraconic anhydride (CA) is defined as a derivative of maleic anhydride that reacts with amines to form amide linkages at alkaline pH and can be hydrolyzed at acidic pH to release citraconic acid and free the amine, making it useful for temporarily blocking amine groups during molecular modifications.

Purification Methods

Possible contamination is from the acid formed by hydrolysis. If the IR has OH bands, then reflux with Ac2O for 30minutes, evaporate, then distil the residue in a vacuum, otherwise distil in a vacuum. Store in a dry atmosphere.
