The Uses of Glutaric anhydride

Glutaric anhydride is used in the production of glutaric acid family pharmaceuticals. Its derivatives are also used in certain corrosion inhibitors, some surfactants and metal finishing compounds. It is also used in the production of polymers, particularly modified unsaturated linear (epoxy) polyesters and as a raw material in the manufacture of flavors. It is also used in improvement of electrode/electrolyte interfaces in High-Voltage Spinel Lithium-Ion batteries as an electrolyte additive.

Definition

ChEBI: Glutaric anhydride is a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride that is oxane which carries oxo groups at positions 2 and 6. It is used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors, and polymers (E.g. epoxy polyesters). It is a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride and a member of oxanes. It is functionally related to a glutaric acid.
