Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) is a dicarboxylic acid mainly used in antiseptics, top-grade coatings, painting materials, corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, and engineering plastics such as nylon 612.[1]

Experimental work with dodecanedioic acid in type 2 diabetic patients has demonstrated that IV infusion helps to maintain normal blood sugar and energy levels without increasing the blood glucose load in the process.[2]

Production[]

DDDA is currently produced by both chemical and biological routes.

Chemical process[]

It has traditionally been produced from butadiene using a multi-step chemical process.[3] Butadiene is first converted to cyclododecatriene through a cyclotrimerization process.[4]

Cyclododecatriene (1) is converted to dodecanedioic acid (4) by hydrogenation to cyclododecane (2) followed by air oxidation in the presence of boric acid at elevated temperatures to a mixture of the alcohol (3a) and the ketone (3b). In the final step, this mixture oxidized further by nitric acid.

Biological process[]

Paraffin wax can be converted into DDDA[5] with a special strain of Candida tropicalis yeast in a multi-step process.[6] Renewable plant-oil feedstocks sourced from switchgrass can also be used to produce DDDA.[3]
