General description
trans,trans-Muconic acid is a polyunsaturated dicarboxylic acid characterized by its conjugated double bonds and reactive dicarboxylic groups. It serves primarily as a key precursor to monomers in the synthesis of polyamides and polyesters.
Application
trans,trans-Muconic acid can be used as a:
- Reactant to produce aromatic monomers via Diels-Aldercycloaddition.
- Biomarker for benzene exposure.
Storage Class
11 - Combustible Solids

Muconic acid (MA) is a urinary metabolite of benzene and has been used as a biomarker of exposure to benzene in humans exposed to levels as low as 1 ppm. We have modified a high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) based assay

Exposure to benzene can cause DNA damage and the subsequent development of cancer. In this study, study subjects were 31 laboratory workers at a petrochemical factory and 31 gasoline service attendants. Control subjects were 34 workers from a mail sorting

Characterize ethylbenzene and xylene air concentrations, and explore the biological exposure markers (urinary t,t-muconic acid (t,t-MA) and unmetabolized toluene) among petroleum workers offshore. Offshore workers have increased health risks due to simultaneous exposures to several hydrocarbons present in crude oil.
