Bisacids
Bisacids, also known as dicarboxylic acids, are organic compounds that contain two carboxyl functional groups. These functional groups are characterized by a carbon atom double-bonded to one oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group. The presence of two such groups in a molecule gives bisacids unique chemical properties and reactivity.
The simplest bisacid is oxalic acid, with the formula C2H2O4. Other common bisacids include malonic acid (C3H4O4),
Bisacids play important roles in various biological and industrial processes. In biology, they are intermediates in
