Trioxoglutaric acidoxomalonic, and dioxosuccinic acids.
Removal of two
esters with the [−O−(C=O)5−O−] moiety
.
Removal of a single proton would result in the monovalent anion hydrogentrioxoglutarate, C
5HO−
7 or HO−(C=O)5−O−.
Status
As of 2020, there seems to be no reliable published report of synthesis or isolation of the acid or its salts. It is however listed in one survey as one of the specialty chemicals produced by thermal hydrolysis of cotton hulls at a Soviet plant in the 1960s.[2]
Also, a theoretical chemistry paper mentions it as a (hypothetical?) fully oxidized derivative of pentane.[1]
