Synthesize of tetrapotassium iminodisuccinate in three following steps: addition water to the maleic anhydride makes maleic acid. koh was added gradually, then, ammonium bicarbonate was added gradually stirring for 1 hour at 50°c. the last step: stirring for 0.5 hour at 110 c for the cyclization process. what is best ph for final step?
Accepted Answer
The optimal pH for the cyclization step in the synthesis of tetrapotassium iminodisuccinate is likely around 8-9. This is because the cyclization reaction involves the formation of an imide bond, which is favored in slightly basic conditions. The presence of excess KOH from the previous step would likely contribute to this slightly alkaline environment. However, it's important to note that the exact pH may vary depending on the specific reaction conditions and the concentration of the reactants. Monitoring the pH during the cyclization process and adjusting it as needed is recommended to optimize the reaction.
