Maleic anhydride Definition
ChEBI: A cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride that is the cyclic anhydride of maleic acid.

Maleic anhydride Production Methods
Maleic anhydride was traditionally manufactured by the oxidation of benzene or other aromatic compounds.
As of 2006, only a few smaller plants continue to use benzene; due to rising benzene prices, most maleic anhydride plants now use n-butane as a feedstock.
In both cases, benzene and butane are fed into a stream of hot air, and the mixture is passed through a catalyst bed at high temperature.
The ratio of air to hydrocarbon is controlled to prevent the mixture from catching on fire.
Vanadium pentoxide and molybdenum trioxide are the catalysts used for the benzene route, whereas vanadium and phosphorus oxides are used for the butane route.
2 CH3CH2CH2CH3 + 7 O2 → 2 C2H2(CO)2O + 8 H2O.

Maleic anhydride Preparation
To a flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap, condenser, and mechanical stirrer is added 116 gm (1.0 mole) of maleic acid and 120 ml of tetrachloroethane.
The contents are heated, the water (18 ml, 1.0 mole) distilled off as the azeotrope, and the residue distilled under reduced pressure to afford 87.7 gm (89.5%) of the anhydride, b.p. 82-84°C (15 mm), m.p. 53°C.
The residue remaining in the flask consists of about 10 gm of fumaric acid, m.p. 287°C.
Fumaric and maleic acids both give maleic anhydride on heating.
Fumaric acid must first be heated to a higher temperature to effect its conversion to maleic acid prior to its dehydration.

Maleic anhydride Plastics & resins
Around 50% of world maleic anhydride output is used in the manufacture of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR).
Chopped glass fibers are added to UPR to produce fiberglass reinforced plastics that are used in a wide range of applications such as pleasure boats, bathroom fixtures, automobiles, tanks and pipes.
Maleic anhydride is hydrogenated to 1,4-butanediol (BDO), used in the production of thermoplastic polyurethanes, elastane/Spandex fibers, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resins and many other products.

Maleic anhydride Curing agents
Diels-Alder reaction of maleic anhydride and butadiene and isoprene gives the respective tetrahydrophthalic anhydrides which can be hydrogenated to the corresponding hexahydrophthalic anhydrides.
These species are used as curing agents in epoxy resins.
Another market for maleic anhydride is lubricating oil additives, which are used in gasoline and diesel engine crankcase oils as dispersants and corrosion inhibitors.
Changes in lubricant specifications and more efficient engines have had a negative effect on the demand for lubricating oil additives, giving flat growth prospects for maleic anhydride in this application.

Maleic anhydride Others
A number of smaller applications for maleic anhydride.
The food industry uses malic acid which is derivative of maleic anhydride in artificial sweeteners and flavour enhancements.
Personal care products consuming maleic anhydride include hair sprays, adhesives and floor polishes.
Maleic anhydride is also a precursor to compounds used for water treatment detergents, insecticides and fungicides, pharmaceuticals, and other copolymers.

Maleic anhydride is mainly used for the production of unsaturated polyester resin, alkyl resins, also used in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints, ink, lubricant additives, paper chemicals, textiles finishing agent, and surface active agent field.
In addition, maleic anhydride as raw material also can produce 1,4-butanediol, γ-butyrolactone ( GBL ), tetrahydrofuran ( THF ), maleic acid, fumaric acid and tetrahydro anhydride and a series of widely used chemical products.

Maleic anhydride Production
Maleic anhydride is produced by vapor-phase oxidation of n-butane.
The overall process converts the methyl groups to carboxylate and dehydrogenates the backbone.
The selectivity of the process reflects the robustness of maleic anhydride, with its conjugated double-bond system.

Traditionally maleic anhydride was produced by the oxidation of benzene or other aromatic compounds.
As of 2006, only a few smaller plants continue to use benzene.
In both cases, benzene and butane are fed into a stream of hot air, and the mixture is passed through a catalyst bed at high temperature.
The ratio of air to hydrocarbon is controlled to prevent the mixture from igniting.

Vanadium pentoxide and molybdenum trioxide are the catalysts used for the benzene route, whereas vanadium phosphate is used for the butane route:
C4H10 + 3.5 O2 → C4H2O3 + 4 H2O ∆H = −1236 kJ/mol
The main competing process entails full combustion of the butane, a conversion that is twice as exothermic as the partial oxidation.
The traditional method using benzene became uneconomical due to the high and still rising benzene prices and by complying with the regulations of benzene emissions.

In addition, in the production of maleic anhydride (4 C-atoms) a third of the original carbon atoms is lost as carbon dioxide when using benzene (6 carbon atoms).
The modern catalytic processes start from a 4-carbon molecule and only attaches oxygen and removes water; the 4-C-base body of the molecule remains intact.
Overall, the newer method is therefore more material efficient.
Parallels exist with the production of phthalic anhydride: While older methods use naphthalene, modern methods use o-xylene as feedstock.

Reactions
The chemistry of maleic anhydride is very rich, reflecting its ready availability and bifunctional reactivity.
Maleic anhydride hydrolyzes, producing maleic acid, cis-HOOC–CH=CH–COOH.
With alcohols, the half-ester is generated, e.g., cis-HOOC–CH=CH–COOCH3.
Maleic anhydride is a classic substrate for Diels-Alder reactions.
Maleic anhydride was used for work in 1928, on the reaction between maleic anhydride and 1,3-butadiene, for which Otto Paul Hermann Diels and Kurt Alder were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1950.
Maleic anhydride is through this reaction that maleic anhydride converted to many pesticides and pharmaceuticals.

Michael reaction of maleic anhydride with active methylene or methine compounds such as malonate or acetoacetate esters in the presence of sodium acetate catalyst.
These intermediates were subsequently used for the generation of the Krebs cycle intermediates aconitic and isocitric acids.
Maleic anhydride dimerizes in a photochemical reaction to form cyclobutane tetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBTA).
Maleic anhydride is used in the production of polyimides and as an alignment film for liquid crystal displays.

Maleic anhydride is also a ligand for low-valent metal complexes, examples being Pt(PPh3)2(MA) and Fe(CO)4(MA).
On account of Maleic anhydrides cycle of 4 π electrons in an array of 5 atoms with p orbitals, maleic anhydride was long thought to exhibit antiaromaticity.
However, a thermochemical study concluded that only 8 kJ/mol of destabilization energy can be ascribed to this effect, making it weakly antiaromatic at best.

Maleic Anhydride (MA) is used as the ingredient of unsaturated polyester resin and paper-sizing agent.

Maleic anhydride (CAS 108-31-6) derives from natural malic acid.
Maleic anhydride as well as maleic and fumaric acids were first prepared in the 1830s.
However, commercial manufacture did not begin until a century later.
In 1933, the National Aniline and Chemical Co., Inc., used a process for producing maleic anhydride based on benzene oxidation using a vanadium oxide catalyst.
Advances in catalyst technology, increased regulatory pressures, and continuing cost advantages of butane over benzene have led to a rapid conversion of benzene- to butane-based plants.
By the mid-1980s in the United States, 100% of maleic anhydride production used butane as the feedstock.

Maleic anhydride is now demonstrated that maleic anhydride, under the influence of a little benzoyl peroxide, will react in solution with rubber on heating, yielding a variety of tough, fibrous or resinous products.
Maleic anhydride is shown that these derivatives are not produced by the action of maleic anhydride alone or of benzoyl peroxide alone, nor are they mixtures of rubber and maleic anhydride polymer.
As a result of the reaction, rubber has been found to undergo an increase in weight ranging from a few per cent up to about 120%, according to experimental conditions.
The corresponding derivatives differ greatly from rubber in mechanical properties, and range from products which are tough, rubbery and non-tacky, to hard and brittle resins.
