Succinic Acid Synthesis
« on: February 09, 2008, 05:52:53 PM »
How can this reagent be synthesied??? I thought it like Malonic Acid synthesis and starting by beta- Mono-Chloro-Propionic-Acid  ===NaCN===> beta Cyano-Propionic-Acid ===H2SO4===> Succinic Acid
But since this synthesis is VERY DANGEROUS (since HCN might evolve) I search for another way!!!

Any help would be appreciated...

oxidize butanediol?  why would you want to make something that is already very inexpensive?
I'd rather be in the lab!

CH2=CH2—Br2→1.2-dibromethane—2NaCN→NCCH2CH2CN—dilute acid hydrolysis→Succinic acid

This is the normal way to synthesize succinic acid i get from article....
