| Application: | Succinicacid can be used as an organic additive in the synthesis of:• 2-Benzyl substituted isoquinoline N-oxides by rhodium-catalyzed reaction with aryl oximes and secondary propargyl alcohols. • Spiro-pyrimidine derivatives by cyclization reaction of 5-(2-alkohybenzylidene) barbituric acid. • Allylselenol via reduction of allyl selenocyanate using lithium aluminum hydride. It can also be used as a reactant to synthesize:• Polyesters via catalyst-free polyesterification of glycerol and azelaic acid. • Poly(glycerol-succinic acid) biodendrimers applicable in specific medical and biotechnological uses. |
