Description :

Overview of Homophthalic Acid

Homophthalic Acid is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid widely used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and speciality chemical synthesis. Structurally related to phthalic acid derivatives, it contains an additional methylene group, which gives it distinct reactivity in condensation and cyclisation reactions.

Because of its chemical structure, Homophthalic Acid is commonly used in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds, APIs, and fine chemicals. It is strictly an industrial and laboratory chemical, not intended for food, fragrance, or cosmetic applications.

Application of Homophthalic Acid

Pharmaceutical & Chemical Intermediate Applications

Homophthalic Acid is used as an important intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, especially in the formation of heterocyclic and bioactive molecules.
It participates in condensation and cyclisation reactions required for API development.
In synthesis pathways, it is often linked with Phthalic Anhydride and Phthalimide for aromatic intermediate production.

Agrochemical & Speciality Chemical Applications

Used in the synthesis of agrochemical intermediates, including herbicide and pesticide-related compounds.
Provides a controlled aromatic backbone and carboxylic functionality.
Often processed alongside derivatives such as N-Methylphthalimide in advanced chemical routes.

 Research & Fine Chemical Applications

Widely used in research laboratories and fine chemical manufacturing.
Suitable for studying aromatic acid chemistry and reaction mechanism development.
Used as a building block in custom synthesis and speciality molecule design.
