Application
- Anoxic photolysis as a Route to Primary Metabolites on Early Earth: Discusses the transformation of succinic acid in the context of chemical processes on the early Earth, highlighting its potential role in prebiotic chemistry (Taran & Unal, 2024).
- Incorporation of zinc into the protic imidazolium-based ionic liquid: Explores a novel catalytic route using succinic acid for the production of ester plasticizers, highlighting the efficiency of this process in industrial applications (Latos et al., 2024).
