Application

Succinic acid serves a multifaceted role across various industries due to its versatile chemical properties. As a colorless, odorless crystalline substance, it is soluble in water and alcohol, making it an ideal chemical intermediate in numerous applications. Succinic acid finds its use in the production of lacquers, medicines, and dyes, and acts as a taste modifier. Naturally occurring in the essential oil of Saxifraga stolonifera, it also displays antibacterial properties. In the biochemical realm, it plays a critical role as an intermediate metabolite in the citric acid cycle. Additionally, the dual carboxylic acid groups in succinic acid allow it to form stable amide bonds with primary amines, highlighting its utility in synthetic chemistry.
