Applications & Usage

Monomethyl Adipate (Methyl Hydrogen Adipate) is an asymmetric adipate ester. It is the direct starting material for manufacturing Methyl Adipoyl Chloride, which is the key building block for Alpha Lipoic Acid. Due to its dual carboxyl-ester functionality, it is widely used in synthesizing lubricants, plasticizers, specialized nylon copolymers, adhesives, and organic synthesis intermediates.

Key Features

  • Precursor to Methyl Adipoyl Chloride: Readily chlorinated with thionyl chloride to yield Methyl Adipoyl Chloride for downstream API synthesis.
  • Asymmetric Ester Reactivity: Allows selective esterification, amidation, or reduction on the free carboxylic acid side without affecting the methyl ester.
  • Advanced Polymers & Lubricants: Used to produce biodegradable polyesters, hot-melt adhesives, and specialty aviation lubricants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Monomethyl Adipate a useful intermediate in copolymer synthesis?

Its asymmetry allows chemists to react the free carboxylic acid group with amine or alcohol chains to form amide or ester bonds, leaving the methyl ester group free for further distinct reactions, avoiding homopolymerization.

What are the standard shipping and storage conditions for Monomethyl Adipate?

It should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse in tightly closed original containers. MSDS and technical sheets are supplied with every order.

What are the standard transport and packaging options for bulk Monomethyl Adipate?

We supply Monomethyl Adipate in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums or ISO tanks for international bulk shipments. The product is stabilized and packed under an inert gas atmosphere to prevent oxidation and moisture contamination during transit.

Technical Profile & Sourcing Guide

Comprehensive chemical specs, catalytic pathways, and quality compliance guidelines for raw materials sourcing.

Chemical Synthesis

Monomethyl Adipate (methyl hydrogen adipate) is a mono-ester of adipic acid. It is synthesized through the selective partial esterification of adipic acid with methanol using an acid catalyst, or by the controlled hydrolysis of dimethyl adipate. It is a clear, colorless liquid at room temperature with a characteristic ester odor.

Applications & Pathways

Monomethyl Adipate is a critical intermediate in the manufacture of Methyl Adipoyl Chloride. It also serves as a building block for specialty plasticizers, lubricants, nylon precursors, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The carboxyl group allows for selective coupling reactions, making it highly valuable in custom synthesis.

Quality & Compliance

Our Monomethyl Adipate has a purity of >=99.0% by GC, with strictly monitored acid values and moisture content.

Storage & Packaging

It is stored in steel or HDPE drums in cool, dry areas. Sourcing agents receive full quality compliance documentation.

Safety & Protocols

Ensure proper ventilation when transferring the liquid. Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection.
