Pentadecanedioic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Grey to off-white solid

Uses

It is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuffs.

Preparation

Pentadecanedioic acid is produced from paraffin through fermentation followed by purification, rather than the traditional multi-step chemical process.

Definition

ChEBI: Pentadecanedioic acid is a long-chain fatty acid. It is used in the synthesis of cyclopentadecanone, cyclopentadecanolide, muscone, etc.
