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).
