Linked from

The 12 pages that link to Adipic acid, each with the reason it gives.

• CyclohexaneRelated: Industrial oxidation routes convert cyclohexane-derived intermediates into adipic acid.

• Dicarboxylic acidBroader topic: It exemplifies the industrial use of a linear dicarboxylic acid.

• Nylon 6,6Broader topic: Its two carboxyl groups react with hexamethylenediamine to form the polyamide links.

• Ostwald processRelated: Nitric acid is used in industrial routes for oxidizing cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone to this product.

• Succinic acidCompared with: Its longer carbon chain makes it a different industrial building block from succinic acid.

• CaprolactamRelated: It is one of the two monomers in the historically competing nylon 6,6 route.

• CyclohexanoneRelated: Industrial oxidation of cyclohexanone-containing mixtures can produce this nylon 6,6 precursor.

• CyclohexeneRelated: Oxidative cleavage of cyclohexene can produce adipic acid under suitable processes.

• CyclohexanolRelated: Cyclohexanol can be oxidized in industrial routes that produce adipic acid.

• Glutaric acidCompared with: Adding one methylene group distinguishes adipic acid from glutaric acid and changes their industrial uses.

• HexamethylenediamineRelated: It supplies the complementary monomer that forms nylon 6,6 with this diamine.

• Pimelic acidCompared with: It has one fewer carbon than pimelic acid and is a major nylon precursor.
