Maleic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is often utilized in research as a building block in the synthesis of a variety of polymers, resins, and copolymers, due to its unsaturated bond which provides sites for polymerization reactions. In the field of organic synthesis, it serves as a dienophile in Diels-Alder reactions, a widely studied mechanism for forming six-membered rings, which are common in many natural products and industrial chemicals. Researchers also utilize maleic acid′s chelating ability to study its interactions with various metal ions, which is relevant in the development of new materials and catalysis.
