Itaconic Acid is a naturally occurring unsaturated 5-C dicarboxylic acid which is also known as methylenesuccinic acid or methylenebutanedioic acid . Itaconic acid was first described by Baup in 1836 when he discovered it as a product of citric acid distillation. Itaconic acid has the stoichiometric formula C5H6O4 and a molar weight of 130.1 g/mol. It exists as white to light beige crystals with a density of 1.573 g/mL at 25°C, a melting point of 165-168°C and a flash point of 268°C . It dissolves in water up to 80.1 g/L at 20°C which makes it quite easy to purify by crystallization. In a recent study IA was also found to dissolve well in several alcohols including methanol, 2-propanol and ethanol with the solubility increasing with temperature. Itaconic acid is also readily biodegradable in nature.
Itaconic acid is an important raw material in the chemicals industry, but it still occupies a niche market. The today’s use of itaconic acid is in the production of lubricant additives, surface active agents, dye intermediates, plastics, synthetic rubber and resins and chemical fibers.
