Adipic acid

分类

Adipic acid is a pristine white crystal, emanating a scent reminiscent of burnt bones. This organic dibasic acid holds significant importance, capable of engaging in diverse reactions such as salt reaction, esterification, and amidation reactions. Furthermore, it can be effectively condensed into high polymer structures alongside binary amines or diols. Its solubility is rather intriguing – slightly soluble in water, yet finds solace in the embrace of alcohol, ether, and most other organic solvents.

Description:

Preparation method:
  1. The cyclohexane oxidation method involves subjecting cyclohexane to a cobalt catalyst, producing both cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. The reaction takes place at 150 ~ 160℃ and 810 ~ 1013 kPa. Further, nitric acid oxidizes cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, resulting in adipic acid. This second reaction occurs at 60 ~ 80℃ and 100 ~ 400 kPa. The crude substance undergoes a refinement process through recrystallization to obtain the finished product.
  2. A two-step carbonylation process utilizes butadiene and carbon monoxide as raw materials. Initially, butadiene is transformed into methyl 3-pentanoate, followed by carbonylation into dimethyl adipate. Finally, hydrolysis is employed to obtain the desired end product.
  3. In the cyclohexene one-water oxidation method, cyclohexene is partially hydrogenated using benzene and hydrogen as raw materials, leading to cyclohexanol. Subsequently, the cyclohexanol undergoes oxidation with nitric acid to yield adipic acid.
