| 13. | Chemically, it is an ester of adipic acid.
|
| 14. | It is the ammonium salt of adipic acid.
|
| 15. | With the carboxylate groups separated by four methylene groups, adipic acid is suited for intramolecular condensation reactions.
|
| 16. | Adipic acid, HOOC-( CH 2 ) 4-COOH, is not an aldaric acid, though it is structurally similar.
|
| 17. | Adipic acid otherwise rarely occurs in nature.
|
| 18. | Cyclohexane is mainly used for the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, which are precursors to nylon.
|
| 19. | It has been used as a precursor of adipic acid en route to nylon by a rhenium-catalyzed deoxydehydration reaction.
|
| 20. | The final products after successive oxidations include succinic acid, which can enter the citric acid cycle, and adipic acid.
