Maleic acid is the common name for cis -butenedioic acid (also called cis -ethylene dicarboxylic acid or toxilic acid), a dicarboxylic acid . Their salts are called male (in) ate. The isomeric trans form is called fumaric acid .
history
Maleic acid was first obtained in 1834 from Théophile-Jules Pelouze by heating malic acid . The connection from 1919 was industrially accessible by those of the US company Barrett Co. introduced catalytic gas-phase oxidation of benzene . The name "maleic acid" is derived from malic acid (apple = Latin "malum").
In 1874 the spatial structure was derived from the chemical behavior - the anhydride formation .
Extraction and presentation
Maleic acid industrially by hydration of maleic anhydride at temperatures of 65-85 ° C.
One works continuously in a stirred tank reactor and keeps the temperature in a constant range. This allows the formation of the isomeric fumaric acid to be reduced to less than 0.1%.
properties
Physical Properties
Maleic acid forms colorless crystals at room temperature. Decomposition is observed on heating above 135 ° C. It is readily soluble in water and reacts strongly acidic in it: the biprotonic acid has a pKa 1 of 1.9 and a pKa 2 of 6.5. The compound dissolves very well in water, the solubility increasing sharply with increasing temperature.

The molar enthalpy of formation is −788.3 kJ mol −1 , the heat of combustion −1358.9 kJ mol −1 . A value of 135.6 J · mol −1 · K −1 or 1.17 J · g −1 · K −1 was determined for the heat capacity at 21 ° C.
Chemical properties
Maleic acid is chemically very reactive with regard to reactions of the carbonyl functions and the double bond. When heated to temperatures above 100 ° C, it changes into maleic anhydride with elimination of water. When dissolved in water, the anhydride then forms maleic acid again. With further heating and with the aid of catalysts, decarboxylation to acrylic acid can be achieved. With prolonged heating to 150 ° C and with UV irradiation, the maleic acid isomerizes to the more stable fumaric acid . All typical carbonyl reactions such as esterifications or aminations can be carried out with maleic acid . However, no acid chloride is formed. Addition of water to the double bond at elevated temperature and increased pressure results in the malic acid, the addition of halogens Dihalogenbernsteinsäuren, a catalytic hydrogenation , the succinic acid . By reaction with ozone is glyoxylic received. When malic acid is heated quickly to 250 ° C, these 2 molecules of water are split off, forming maleic anhydride.
Physiological properties
Maleic acid and its salts are harmful to the kidneys if higher doses are taken orally. This property is used, for example, in the animal model of the color rat to produce the symptoms of De Toni Fanconi syndrome . The proximal tubular cells are specifically damaged. The doses required to induce renal dysfunction are in the range of 200 mg / kg body weight for intraperitoneal administration.
use
Maleic acid is used for the production of polymers , synthetic resins and maleic acid esters , for refining and dyeing cotton and as an ingredient in decalcifying agents based on sulfamic acid or citric acid , which is intended to counteract rapid re-calcification.
In pharmacology, solutions of the maleates of antihistamines are used as injectable drugs for acute use. In preparative chemistry, maleic acid is often used as an agent for the Diels-Alder reaction .
In dentistry, maleic acid is used in self-etching adhesive systems to condition dentin .
Maleate: Risk of confusion with malonate and malate
Maleate must not be confused with the acid anion of malic acid , the malate ion, or the anion of malonic acid , the malonate .
