Dimethyl adipate Usage And Synthesis

DescriptionDimethyl adipate (DMA) is a colourless and flammable liquid. It is soluble in alcohol andether but sparingly soluble in water. DMA is incompatible with strong oxidising agents,and on decomposition, it emits carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases,and carbon dioxide. DMA reacts with acids, alkalis, and strong oxidants. DMA is synthesisedby the esterification of adipic acid. DMA is part of a dibasic ester (DBE) blendused as a major ingredient in several paint strippers, and the DBE blends used in paintstripping formulations contain a major portion (about 90%) of DMA. DMA is used asa chemical intermediate (polymers, agrochemicals), cellulose resins, a speciality solvent(inks, coatings, adhesives), and an emollient and can also be utilised as a paint removerand plasticiser.
Chemical PropertiesDimethyl adipate is a colorless liquid. It is a fatty acid methyl ester.
UsesDimethyl adipate is used in cosmetics (in emollients and skin conditioning).It is used as a plasticizer for cellulose-type resins and a finish remover.It is also used in agrochemicals and dye as well as a precursor for the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Further, it serves as a polymer intermediate. In addition to this, it is employed as a solvent for paint stripping and resins.

DefinitionChEBI: Dimethyl adipate is a fatty acid methyl ester.
Production MethodsDimethyl adipate is manufactured via esterification of adipicacid and methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
General DescriptionColorless liquid.
Air & Water ReactionsFlammable. Hydrolyzed by strong mineral acids and strong alkalis.
Reactivity ProfileDimethyl adipate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Health HazardMay be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. May cause irritation.
Health HazardExposures to dimethyl adipate cause toxicity and adverse health effects in laboratoryanimals and humans. Workplace exposures to dimethyl adipate by inhalation, ingestion,or skin absorption cause harmful and irritation effects to users.
Flammability and ExplosibilityNon flammable
Safety ProfileModerately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
SynthesisDimethyl adipate was synthesized by immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B-catalyzed esterification of adipic acid and methanol.

According to the general procedure described above, Dimethyl adipate has been synthesized from adipic acid (730mg, 5 mmol) and methanol (10 ml). Yield: 9%.
1H NMR (400.1 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 3.56 (6H, s, H1-H10), 2.23 (4H, m, H4-H7), 1.56 (4H, m, H5-H6).
13C NMR (100.5 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 173.4 (C3-C8), 51.2 (C1-C10), 33.4 (C4-C7), 24.1 (C5-C6)

CarcinogenicityIn a chronic inhalation toxicitystudy of dimethyl adipate, groups of male and female ratswere exposed to 400 mg/m3 of dimethyl adipate over a90-day period. Focal respiratory metaplasia of the olfactoryepithelium was found. These nonneoplastic lesions wereminimal to mild in severity .
Toxics Screening LevelThe ITSL for Dimethyl Adipate is 1 μg/m3 based on annual averaging time.
PrecautionsDuring handling of dimethyl adipate, occupational workers should be careful and useself-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves and avoid prolongedperiod of exposures. Workers should avoid contact of dimethyl adipate with skin,eyes and nose.
