| The polyesterification of dicarboxylic acids with diols is a commonly applied process in the polymer industry. |
| It forms an addition product with acrylic ester, which on heating loses nitrogen and leaves trimethylene dicarboxylic ester. |
| When heated with sulphuric acid, this dicarboxylic acid forms cochinelic acid and carbon dioxide. |
| Crocin is a digentibiosyl ester of the polyene dicarboxylic acid crocetin. |
| Further improvements were made by substituting short-chain dicarboxylic acids for the surfactant stearic acid used to prevent agglomeration of the silver flakes. |
| Examples of such renewable dicarboxylic acids are dimethyl suberate, dimethyl sebacate, or dimerized saturated fatty acids. |
