What could be a potential use of adipic acid? A) Not much, adipic acid is a 1,6-dicarboxylic acid, so it easily decarboxylates. B) Adipic acid is extensively used in turophilic chemistry. C) Adipic acid is structurally related to sebacic acid. - We used sabacic acid to make 6,1d-Nylon. So if adipic acid were converted into its acid chloride, and then reacted with hexane-1,6-diamine, one could make 6,6-Nylon. D) Adipic acid is extremely toxic, so it is seldomly used in synthetic chemistry.
