Pivalic Acid Applications


Pivalic acid is a carboxylic acid with a atomic blueprint of (CH3)3CCO2H. This colourless, odiferous amoebic admixture is solid at allowance temperature.

Relative to esters of a lot of carboxylic acids, esters of pivalic acid are almighty aggressive to hydrolysis. Some applications aftereffect from this thermal stability. Polymers acquired from pivalate esters of vinyl booze are awful cogitating lacquers. The pivaloyl (abbreviated piv or pv) accumulation is a careful accumulation for alcohols in amoebic synthesis. Pivalic acid is sometimes acclimated as an centralized chemical-shift accepted for NMR of aqueous solutions. While DSS is added frequently acclimated for this purpose, the accessory peaks from protons on the three methylene bridges in DSS can be problematic. On a 1H NMR spectrum at 25 °C and aloof pH, pivalic acid gives a singlet at 1.08 ppm.
