It is one of the simplest stable tetracarboxylic acids. The compound exists as two diastereomers, meso and the (R,R)/(S,S) pair. All are white solids. The compound is produced by oxidation of tetrahydrophthalic anhydride. Uses and reactions Among the several possible uses, it has been repeatedly investigated in the textile industry,10.1016/j.carbpol.2005.02.019 The Antimicrobial Activity of Cotton Fabrics Treated with Different Crosslinking Agents and Chitosan 2005 Eltahlawy K.
