Dehydration of Malonic Acid with P4O10
The dehydration reaction between malonic acid and phosphorus pentoxide
When malonic acid meets phosphorus pentoxide, it is combined with phosphorus pentoxide to undergo a dehydration reaction. Phosphorus pentoxide has strong dehydration properties and is an essential agent in the reaction.

When malonic acid meets phosphorus pentoxide, phosphorus pentoxide drains water from malonic acid, causing malonic acid to dehydrate. The reaction process is like a skilled craftsman's art, orderly. The structure of malonic acid changes due to dehydration, and new products are derived.

Looking at this reaction, phosphorus pentoxide is like a pump that draws water, pulling the water in malonic acid away. And malonic acid, under its action, water molecules, metamorphosis of a different kind of quality. The wonders of chemistry, not careful study and can not be clear. The mechanism of the reaction is profound, need to chemical principles, layer by layer analysis, to understand the mystery.
