    ADIPIC ACID

    ~ also known as Hexanedioic acid; 1,4-Butanedicarboxylic acid; 124-04-9; Adipinic acid; Adilactetten; etc. is the most important dicarboxylic acid. About 2.5 billion kilograms of this white crystalline powder are produced annually, mainly as a precursor for nylon production.
    Chemical structure: C6H10O4 or HOOC(CH2)4COOH. Adipic acid is a dicarboxylic acid.
    Properties: Adipic acid is a white crystalline solid. It is insoluble in water.
    Production: 
    1. Adipic acid is produced from a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone called “KA oil”, i.e. ketone-alcohol oil. The KA oil is oxidized with nitric acid to give adipic acid, via a multistep pathway. Early in the reaction, the cyclohexanol is converted to the ketone, releasing nitrous acid. Among its many reactions, the cyclohex...
