Maleic anhydride toxilic anhydride

The chemistry of maleic anhydride is very rich, reflecting its ready availability and bifunctional reactivity. It hydrolyzes, producing , cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2H. With alcohols, the half-ester is generated, e.g., cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2CH3.

Maleic anhydride is a potent in . It is also a ligand for low-valent metal complexes, examples being Pt(PPh3)2(MA) and Fe(CO)4(MA).

MA in a to cyclobutane tetracarboxylic dianhydride CBTA. This compound is used in the production of and as an alignment film for

Maleic anhydride is used primarily in the formation of unsaturated polyester resins for use in boats, autos, trucks, buildings, piping, and electrical goods.Lube oil adhesives synthesized from maleic anhydride are used to prolong oil-change intervals and improve engine efficiency. (2,9)

Maleic anhydride is also used to make copolymers, pesticides, and other organic compounds, and in Diels-Alder syntheses. (2,9)

Manufacture of unsaturate polyester resin,alkyd resin,insulate paint,plasticicer,maleic acid,malic acid and tartaric acid,can be used antiseptic agent,also serve as the raw materials of medicine, paint, glass steel and so on.
