Product name: Maleic anhydride(MA) Maleic anhydride (cis-butenedioic anhydride, toxilic anhydride, dihydro*2, *-dioxofuran) is an organic compound with the formula C2H2(CO)2O. In its pure state it is a colourless or white solid with an acrid odour. Maleic anhydride was traditionally manufactured by the oxidation of benzene or other aromatic compounds. As of ***6, only a few smaller plants continue to use benzene; Due to rising benzene prices, most maleic anhydride plants now use n-butane as a feedstock. Product Feature The chemistry of maleic anhydride is very rich, reflecting its ready availability and bifunctional reactivity. It hydrolyzes, producing maleic acid, cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2H. With alcohols, the half-ester is generated, e. G., cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2CH3.
