 |  | [Application] 
 Predominantly cis 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride (HHPA) is a cyclic anhydride that can be used for a variety of applications such as: plasticizer, rust inhibitor, and a curing agent for epoxy based resins.
 HPPA, in combination with triethaylamine (TEA), can be used as a polymerization initiator in the preparation of polyester based resins. It can also be used as a hardener to cure 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether which can be used as an epoxy based system for electronic devices.

 Predominantly cis 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride (HHPA) is a cyclic anhydride that can be used for a variety of applications such as: plasticizer, rust inhibitor, and a curing agent for epoxy based resins. |  | [Flammability and Explosibility] 
 Nonflammable
 |  | [Synthesis] 
 Hexahydrophthalic anhydride is obtained by reacting ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid with oxalyl 
chloride.Combine
 ciscyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol, 172 mg) and oxalyl 
chloride (1.2 mmol, 152 mg, 0.103 ml) in dry toluene (5 mL) and add a 
drop of freshly distilled DMF. Purge the reaction vessel with argon and 
heat the reaction under stirring for 3 h. Stop the stirring, decant the 
toluene solution and filter. Evaporate the volatiles. Transform into 
crystalline form by trituration with diethyl ether. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) |? 3.18 - 3.12 (m, 2H 2CH) 1.96 - 1.83 (m, 4H 2CH2) 1.57 - 1.49 (m, 4H 2CH2). HRMS (ESI), calcd for C8H10NaO3 [M+Na]+ 175.0522, found 175.0527; calcd for C9H14NaO4 [M+CH3 OH+Na]+ 209.0784, found 209.0788.

 | Questions And Answer | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) is widely used for electronics applications, e.g. HHPA cured epoxy resins have excellent dielectric properties, high-temperature stability, and high glass transition temperatures. HHPA is used as a curing agent in adhesive coatings and sealant materials, e.g. for the second-generation two-part epoxy adhesive synthesis. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride is also used in the manufacture of alkyd and polyester resins, insecticides, and rust preventives.
