/ˌmɛzəˈkɑnɪk/,

/ˌmɛsəˈkɑnɪk/

Origin: A borrowing from German, combined with an English element. Etymons: German Mesaconsäure , -ic suffix.

Etymology: < mesacon- (in German Mesaconsäure (J. Gottlieb 1851, in Ann. der Chem. u. Pharm. 77 270) < meso- meso- comb. form + -aconsäure (in Itaconsäure and Citraconsäure ), so called after the intermediate position of this acid between the itaconic and citraconic acids) + -ic suffix. Compare itaconic adj., citraconic adj., and aconic adj. N.E.D. (1906) gives only the pronunciation (mesăkǫ·nik) /mɛsəˈkɒnɪk/.

Chemistry.

1. mesaconic acid n. an unsaturated dibasic acid, isomeric with itaconic acid and citraconic acid, which can be obtained by boiling a weak solution of citraconic acid with nitric acid; methylfumaric acid, CH₃C(COOH):CHCOOH.

ΚΠ

1854 R. D. Thomson Cycl. Chem. 359/1 Mesaconic Acid, Mesacic acid. 2 HOC₁₀H₄O₆... fine white shining needles... It is isomeric with citracic acid.

1894 Science 19 Jan. 36/1 According to B. Meyer also mesaconic, citraconic,..and benzoyl succinic acids are incapable to serve as food.

1906 H. F. Morley & M. M. P. Muir Watts' Dict. Chem. III. 230/2 Mesaconic acid stands to citraconic acid in the same relation that fumaric stands to maleic acid.

1930 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 129 300 Mesaconic acid was prepared from cinnamic acid by exposing a saturated solution in chloroform, containing a trace of bromine,..to the radiations from a mercury vapour lamp.

1968 Science 26 Jan. 425/2 Even if it [sc. β-methyl aspartic acid] was synthesized on the primitive Earth most of it would have deaminated to mesaconic acid.

1993 Tetrahedron Asymmetry 4 1150 Mesaconic acid (5g, 38.5 mmol) was dissolved in deuterium oxide (5 ml) and ammonia solution added to adjust the pH to 8.6.

†2. mesaconic ether n. an ester obtainable by boiling a mixture of mesaconic acid, sulphuric acid, and ethanol; CH₃C(COOCH₂CH₃):CHCOOCH₂CH₃. rare. Perhaps Obsolete.
