Properties and Applications of Maleic Anhydride
Maleic Anhydride (MA), also known as 2,5-Furandione, is commonly referred to as maleic anhydride or dehydrated malic anhydride.
As a key basic organic chemical raw material, maleic anhydride is one of the most important anhydrides in basic organic chemicals. From its negligible status in the 1960s–1970s, its development and production have now become an indispensable part of the national economy.
Maleic Anhydride has a highly reactive chemical nature due to its conjugated maleoyl group (an ethylene group linked to two carbonyl groups). It readily undergoes photochemical, addition, acylation, esterification, sulfonation, hydration, oxidation, reduction, and hydrogenation reactions, giving rise to a wide range of downstream products.
