Description

Application
Mucic acid or galactaric acid can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of 2345-tetra-O-acetylgalactaric acid (AGA) which is used as a monomer unit along with adipic acid for the synthesis of copolyanhydrides. Muconic acid and adipic acid. It can be also utilized in the surface modification of monodisperse water-soluble magnetic nanoparticles.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Mucic acid C6H10O8 or HOOC-(CHOH)4-COOH (also known as galactaric or meso-galactaric acid) is an aldaric acid obtained by nitric acid oxidation of galactose or galactose-containing compounds such as lactose dulcite quercite and most varieties of gum.
