GENERAL DESCRIPTION & EXTERNAL LINKS
Brassylic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with 13 carbon atoms, occurring in plant and animal tissues. It exhibits typical carboxyl group chemistry useful in a variety of industrial applications. Dicarboxylic acid can yield two kinds of salts, as they contain two carboxyl groups in its molecules. It is a white crystalline; melting point at 130 C, slightly soluble in water. It is used in manufacturing plasticizer for polymers, biodegradable solvents, lubricants and perfumeries. It is used as an intermediates to produce engineering plastics such as nylon-1313

Synthesis and characterization of novel polyamides based on tridecanedioic acid: Nylons 3 13, 5 13, 6 13, 7 13, 9 13, 10 13, 11 13......... Linear polyamides with high aliphatic content were prepared through step-heating melt polycondensation of tridecanedioic acid with various diamines. The synthesized polyamides were characterized comprehensively by means of IR, NMR and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis were used to investigate thermal properties of the obtained polyamides. It was found that melting and crystallization temperatures decrease as the aliphatic content increases. X-ray diffraction was applied to determine the crystal structures of the polyamides........(http://www.e-polymers.org/)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DICARBOXYLIC ACID
Dicarboxylic acid is a compound containing two carboxylic acid, -COOH, groups. Straight chain examples are shown in table. The general formula is HOOC(CH2)nCOOH, where oxalic acid's n is 0, n=1 for malonic acid, n=2 for succinic acid, n=3 for glutaric acid, and etc. In substitutive nomenclature, their names are formed by adding -dioic' as a suffix to the name of the parent compound. They can yield two kinds of salts, as they contain two carboxyl groups in its molecules. The range of carbon chain lengths is from 2, but the longer than C 24 is very rare. The term long chain refers to C 12 up to C 24 commonly. Carboxylic acids have industrial application directly or indirectly through acid halides, esters, salts, and anhydride forms, polymerization, and etc. Dicarboxylic acids can yield two kinds of salts or esters, as they contain two carboxyl groups in one molecule. It is useful in a variety of industrial applications include;
  • Plasticizer for polymers
  • Biodegradable solvents and lubricants
  • Engineering plastics
  • Epoxy curing agent
  • Adhesive and powder coating
  • Corrosion inhibitor
  • Perfumery and pharmaceutical
  • Electrolyte

There are almost infinite esters obtained from carboxylic acids. Esters are formed by removal of water from an acid and an alcohol. Carboxylic acid esters are used as in a variety of direct and indirect applications. Lower chain esters are used as flavouring base materials, plasticizers, solvent carriers and coupling agents. Higher chain compounds are used as components in metalworking fluids, surfactants, lubricants, detergents, oiling agents, emulsifiers, wetting agents textile treatments and emollients, They are also used as intermediates for the manufacture of a variety of target compounds. The almost infinite esters provide a wide range of viscosity, specific gravity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and other physical and chemical properties for the proper application selections.
