PRODUCTION

Diethyl succinate is a human metabolite
Diethyl succinate is formed by Fisher esterification of succinic acid and ethanol.
Diethyl succinate is produced by the esterification of succinic acid with ethanol.
Diethyl succinate is continuously produced from succinic acid and ethanol in a 6-m tall, elevated pressure reactive distillation column.
Esterification of diethyl succinate is carried out in excess ethanol such that water and ethanol are produced in the distillate and diethyl succinate is produced in the bottoms stream.

Diethyl succinate is produced by esterification of succinic acid with ethanol via reactive distillation.
Succinic acid complete conversion is achieved and >98.5% purity diethyl succinate is obtained as bottom product.
Diethyl succinate is obtained by the direct esterification of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of concentrated H2SO4 in benzene solution.
Diethyl succinate occurs naturally in apple, raspberry, cognac, rum, whiskey, cider, sherry, plum brandy, apple brandy, grape brandy, cherry brandy, cocoa, arrack and red, white, port, strawberry and sparking wines.
Diethyl succinate occurs naturally in plant and animal tissues.
The common method of synthesis of succinic acid is the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic acid or its anhydride.
