DIMETHYL PIMELATE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Dimethyl pimelate (DMP) is valued as an important intermediate in pharmaceuticals, perfumes, lubricants, and other organic compounds. It was usually obtained by esterification from pimelic acid with alcohols[1].

Chemical Properties

Clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid

Uses

Dimethyl pimelate was used as the internal standard in the analysis of phthalates, sebacates, epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and polyadipates after transesterification to the ethyl esters.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified
