Research Summary

Maleic anhydride is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H2O3. It is derived from butane and is classified as an unsaturated cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride. Maleic anhydride appears as a white, crystalline solid with a pungent odor. It is highly reactive and widely used in the chemical industry for the production of various products. One of its primary uses is as a precursor to the production of polyester resins, which are used in coatings, adhesives, and fiberglass reinforced materials. Maleic anhydride is also used in the synthesis of other chemicals like agricultural herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and plasticizers. Its reactivity enables it to form adducts with a variety of compounds, making it a valuable building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, maleic anhydride is utilized as a cross-linking agent in the production of copolymers and as a corrosion inhibitor in water treatment processes. The versatile nature of maleic anhydride makes it an important compound with a wide range of industrial applications.
