Application

  • Micro/nanoencapsulation for cool thermal energy storage: Dimethyl adipate has been encapsulated into a polymer shell, improving its thermal properties and making it suitable for cool thermal energy storage applications (Trivedi & Parameshwaran, 2022).
  • Sustainable production via non-heme iron (III) catalysis: A method for producing dimethyl adipate through oxidative cleavage of catechol using non-heme iron (III) catalysts highlights an environmentally friendly approach (Jastrzebski et al., 2015).
  • Boosted nitrilation for adiponitrile production: The development of bimetallic oxide catalysts for the nitrilation of dimethyl adipate to adiponitrile shows enhanced activity and selectivity, important for industrial applications (Guo et al., 2023).

Esters from branched alcohols and dicarboxylic linear acids are widely used as lube bases due to their good performance at low temperatures. This work proposes a new process to synthesize bis(2-ethylbutyl) adipate and bis(2-ethylbutyl) sebacate by using the lipase-based catalyst

Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 19(1), 124-129 (1991-01-01)
Inhalation exposure of rats to dibasic esters revealed lesions of the nasal olfactory epithelium similar to those observed with other ester solvents. Female rats are more sensitive to these effects than are male rats. It has been proposed that carboxylesterase
