FAQs of Adipic Acid (AA)

Q.

What happens when adipic acid is heated?

A.

There are two kinds: 1. HOOC-(CH2)4-COOH first removes a water molecule to form hexanedioic anhydride: C6H10O4==heating==C6H8O3+H2O. 2. Further heating decomposition to cyclopentanone, carbon dioxide, water: C6H10O4==heating==C5H8O+CO2+H2O
