Description

Organic compound, salt of ammonium ion and organic succinic acid. Doesn't form water hydrates.

Precursors

Reaction between ammonia and succinic acid

Chemical equation:

H₂C₄H₄O₄ + 2NH₄OH = (NH₄)₂C₄H₄O₄ + 2H₂O

For preparation of 100.00g of ammonium succinate а 46.07g of ammonia alcohol and 77.61g of succinic acid is required.

Add acid to the flask, then add small parts of ammonium compound with stirring until heating will stop (attention, the solution may boil!) .

Notes

Dissolved compound may start to hydrolize, turning brown and emitting a strong ammonia smell.
