About Phthalic Acid
Phthalic acid is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, with formula C₆H₄(CO₂H)₂. It is an isomer of isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid. Although phthalic acid is of modest commercial importance, the closely related derivative phthalic anhydride is a commodity chemical produced on a large scale.
