MUCIC ACID, C6H1008

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 954 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUCIC ACID, C6H1008 or HOOC(CHOH)4COOH, is'obtained by the oxidation of milk,
sugar
 , dulcite, galactose, quercite and most varieties of gum by nitric acid. It forms a crystalline powder which melts at 213 C. It is insoluble in
alcohol
 , and nearly insoluble in cold water. When heated with
pyridine
  to 14o C., it is converted into allomucic acid. When digested with fuming hydrochloric acid for some time it is converted into as furfurane dicarboxylic acid (see FURFURANE) ; while on
heating
  with barium sulphide it is transformed into athiophene carboxylic acid (see TH10PHENE). The ammonium
salt
  yields on dry
distillation
  carbon dioxide,
ammonia
 , pyrrol and other substances. The acid when fused with
caustic
  alkalies yields oxalic acid.
