Itaconic anhydride

Chemical compound

Itaconic anhydride is the cyclic anhydride of itaconic acid and is obtained by the pyrolysis of citric acid. It is a colourless, crystalline solid, which dissolves in many polar organic solvents and hydrolyzes forming itaconic acid. Itaconic anhydride and its derivative itaconic acid have been promoted as biobased "platform chemicals" and bio- building blocks.) These expectations, however, have not been fulfilled.
