Disodium 2-methylsuccinate, CAS 59272-25-2
Disodium 2-methylsuccinate is a useful bio-based building block for the chemical industry. The 2-methylsuccinate moiety is critical in the production of detergents, biodegradable plastics, surfactants, pigments, toners, feeds, cosmetics, lacquers, chelators, buffers, binders, etc. In these applications, the 2-methyl group introduces property and functionality tuning which is absent in the succinate analog.
