Abstract

Succinic acid is one of the key platform molecules produced from biomass and transformed into a variety of useful chemicals. The production and usage of succinic acid as a replacement of maleic anhydride, main intermediate in petroleum based technologies, will be presented here. The versatility of the two carboxylic groups and its partial solubility in water make succinic acid a convenient starting materials for a variety of chemicals such as esters, amides, alcohols and biopolymers.
