CAS 692-29-5 — Succinic semialdehyde

Succinic semialdehyde is an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid intermediate with a four-carbon backbone, primarily used in biochemical research, metabolic pathway studies, and as a precursor in organic synthesis. It appears as a hygroscopic solid or liquid, soluble in water and polar solvents, and plays a role in studying gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism. This chemical has a CAS number of 692-29-5, molecular formula CH(O)CH2CH2COOH, and a molecular weight of 102.09. It requires storage between 2–8°C, carries a warning signal word for safety, and is subject to standard handling precautions for reactive intermediates. Molekula supplies succinic semialdehyde from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
