General Description
Itaconic acid or methylenesuccinic acid is an organic compound. The name itaconic was devised as an anagram of aconitic. Historically itaconic acid was obtained by the distillation of citric acid. The dicarbonic acid is a white crystalline scentless powder. Itaconic acid is a naturally occurring compound non-toxic and readily biodegradable. It is soluable in water ethanol and aceton. The molecular weight is 130.10 gmol1 with a density of 163 gcm3.
