Description and Uses

Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride is an organic compound with the formula C6H8C2O3. The compound exists as two isomers, this article being focused on the more common cis isomer. It is a precursor to other compounds including the dicarboxylic acid tetrahydrophthalic acid as well the tetrahydrophthalimide, which is a precursor to the fungicide Captan. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents.
Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, the cis isomer, is prepared by the Diels-Alder reaction of butadiene and maleic anhydride.

cis-1,2,3,6-Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA) can be used as:

  • A curing agent for epoxides.
  • A chemical modifier in the modification of polystyrene via Friedel-Crafts acylation for enhancing the thermal stability of the polymer.
  • A reactant for the synthesis of cis-tetrahydroisoindole-1,3-dione derivatives and cyclic diimides.
