Mucic acid CAS NO. 526-99-8 About

Mucic acid, also known as galactaric acid, is a dicarboxylic sugar acid derived from the oxidation of galactose or galactose-containing compounds such as lactose. It is a white, crystalline powder that is insoluble in alcohol but soluble in hot water. Mucic acid is commonly used in analytical chemistry for identifying galactose and as a precursor in the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and specialty chemicals. Its structure features two carboxyl groups and four hydroxyl groups, contributing to its high polarity and reactivity. Synonyms include D-galactaric acid, meso-galactaric acid, and D-saccharic acid.
