Succinic Acid
Description
Succinic acid is a precursor to some polyesters and a component of some alkyd resins.[13] 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) can be synthesized using succinic as a precursor.[17] The automotive and electronics industries heavily rely on BDO to produce connectors, insulators, wheel covers, gearshift knobs and reinforcing beams.[18] Succinic acid also serves as the bases of certain biodegradable polymers, which are of interest in tissue engineering applications.[19]
Acylation with succinic acid is called succination. Oversuccination occurs when more than one succinate adds to a substrate.
