General description
Oxalic acid is present as potential impurity in some active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Application
Oxalic acid may be used as a catalyst to synthesize:
- 2-aryl-1-arylmethyl-1H-benzimidazoles from o-phenylenediamine and aldehydes
- 2-aryl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazoles from benzyl/benzoin, ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes
- bis-compounds of indole and 2-naphthol in an aqueous medium
Oxalic acid was used:
- in the synthesis of hemicellulose hydrolysates of yellow poplars
- in the synthesis of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous metal oxides or carbonates via templating with polystyrene spheres
- as supporting electrolyte in the electrochemical synthesis of polyaniline-polypyrrole composite coatings

An integrated detoxification process with electrodialysis (ED) followed by adsorption was performed to remove fermentation inhibitors from hemicellulose hydrolysates. The hydrolysates were prepared by oxalic acid pretreatment of yellow poplars at different temperatures. Of fermentation inhibitors, acetic acid showed high
