Adipic Acid is a colorless, crystalline organic compound commonly used in the production of nylon and other synthetic fibers. It is a dicarboxylic acid, meaning it contains two carboxyl functional groups, which makes it useful in various chemical reactions. This compound is primarily produced through the oxidation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. In addition to its role in the textile industry, Adipic Acid is also used as a food additive and in the manufacture of plastics, lubricants, and coatings, highlighting its versatility in different applications.
