Overview | Pimelic acid (Heptanedioicacid & Pimelicacid), alias busic acid, is a 7-carbon linear saturated dibasic acid. In animals, it is produced by the ω oxidation and β oxidation of fatty acids. In 1884, ricinic acid (hydroxylated animal oleic acid) was produced by GanttnerFetal from castor oil. Isolated from bovine urine in 1937, M.Müller has been confirmed to be an essential component for the growth of some strains of Diphtheria. |
Application | Pimelic acid is generally used for biochemical research, is also used to prepare polymers, and can also be used as a raw material for plasticizers. |

production method | put sodium metal into isoamyl alcohol at 100 ℃, continue heating to make vigorous reflux, and drop salicylic acid dissolved in isoamyl alcohol solution. After the reflux reaction is over, cool to 100 ℃, add hot water under stirring, stand and separate the water layer for steam distillation, remove isoamyl alcohol, and collect the distillate to a certain amount. The material in the distillation bottle is cooled, concentrated hydrochloric acid is added, and then steam distillation is carried out to remove salicylic acid. Then concentrate the residue to precipitate sodium chloride, and cool the mixture of pimelic acid and sodium chloride. The mixture is extracted with benzene, and pimelic acid is concentrated and crystallized from the extract. Yield 43-50%. |
