Adipic acid synthesis
- Product Name:Adipic acid
- CAS Number:124-04-9
- Molecular formula:C6H10O4
- Molecular Weight:146.14
HOC6H11 + HNO3 → OC6H10 + HNO2 + H2O
Among its many reactions, the cyclohexanone is nitrosated, setting the stage for the scission of the C- C bond:
HNO2 + HNO3 → NO+NO3- + H2O
OC6H10 + NO+→ OC6H9-2 - NO + H+
Side products of the method include glutaric and succinic acids.
Related processes start from cyclohexanol, which is obtained from the hydrogenation of phenol.
