2,3-DIMETHYLSUCCINIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

2,3-Dimethylsuccinic acid is a useful research chemical.

Chemical Properties

white to almost white crystalline powder

Definition

ChEBI: 2,3-dimethylsuccinic acid is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid that is succinic acid substituted by two methyl groups at positions 2 and 3 respectively. It has a role as a chelator. It is functionally related to a succinic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2,3-dimethylsuccinate(2-).

Purification Methods

Crystallise the racemic acid from water. [Beilstein 2 IV 1998.]
