General description
Oxalic acid is a dicarboxylic acid used in dehydration, elimination, protection, deprotection, condensation, and decarboxylation reactions.
Oxalic acid is present as a potential impurity in some active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Oxalic acid is present as a potential impurity in some active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Application
Oxalic acid was used in determination of oxamic acid, oxalic acid, and oxamide in hydrophobic drug substance matrix by ion-exclusion chromatography. It was used in the synthesis of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous metal oxides or carbonates via templating with polystyrene spheres. It was employed as supporting electrolyte during electrochemical synthesis of polyaniline-polypyrrole composite coatings.

Oxalic acid, oxamic acid and oxamide are potential impurities in some active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The retention and separation of oxalic and oxamic acids are particularly challenging using conventional reversed-phase HPLC due to their high polarity. An ion-exclusion chromatography (IEC)
