The hepatic metabolism of 1,omega-dodecanedioic acid, a physiologically relevant representative of the medium-chain dicarboxylic acid family, has been studied by a combination of in vivo and in vitro 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. Rats in different nutritional or hormonal situations were infused with [1,12-13C2]- or [1,2,11,12-13C4]dodecanedioic acid, and the kinetics of 13C label app...

The w-oxidation of fatty acids results in the formation of mediumand long-chain dicarboxylates. By this accessory metabolic pathway monocarboxylic acids are first converted into w-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids, a reaction catalysed by the microsomal mixed-oxidase function system (Pettersen, 1972). These intermediates are subsequently converted into w-oxomonocarboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids...

When Micrococcus strain 12B grown on o-phthalate was incubated with 3-methylphthalate, three compounds accumulated. These were shown to be 2-pyrone-3-methyl-4,6-dicarboxylic acid, 3,4-dihydroxy-6-methylphthalic acid, and 5-hydroxy-3-methyphthalic acid, all previously undescribed. A pathway for the formation of these compounds is proposed.

Corrosion of Aluminum metal at pH 10 has been controlled by dicarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid (OA) and adipic (AA).The Inhibition efficiency (IE) determined the classical weight loss method. The maximum inhibition offered (AA) 250 ppm Zn2+ 50 system are 88 96%. To determine values Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) corrosion Current (Icorr), potentiodynamic polarization study used.
