1. Organic intermediates include paraxylene, adipic acid , oxalic acid caprolactam, nitrocellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, etc. 2. Synthetically, " trans, trans "-muconic acid can be prepared from adipic acid . 3. This process is used in the commercial production of adipic acid . 4. Nylon 66 is synthesised by polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid . 5. In fact, six-carbon aldaric acids can be considered tetrahydroxyl derivatives of adipic acid . 6. DOA is a diester of adipic acid and two equivalents of " n "-octanol. 7. An example of this reaction type is the conversion of butadiene to adipic acid . 8. Equivalent amounts of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid are combined with water in a reactor. 9. DEHA is an ester of 2-ethylhexanol and adipic acid . 10. An example of intramolecular ketonization is the conversion of adipic acid to cyclopentanone with barium hydroxide.
