Abstract

Alternative sources for an industrial production of essential substances represent an exciting field of study for many researchers. Based on the previous research, itaconic acid and its esters were intensively studied as one of the sources. This paper relates to a determination of the basic physical–chemical properties of bis(2-methylbutyl) itaconate and bis(3-methylbutyl) itaconate that are produced from itaconic acid and 2-methylbutan-1-ol and 3-methylbutan-1-ol, respectively, from biomass. According to our best knowledge, physical–chemical properties of these substances, such as density, viscosity, and saturated vapor pressure, are not presented in the literature, and these are important for the future research of their production.
