Mucic acid, C6H10O8 or HOOC-(CHOH)4-COOH (also known as galactaric or meso-galactaric acid) is an aldaric acid obtained by nitric acid oxidation of galactose or galactose-containing compounds such as lactose, dulcite, quercite, and most varieties of gum.

Answer 2

Mucic acid, C6H10O8 or HOOC-(CHOH)4-COOH (also known as galactaric or meso-galactaric acid) is an aldaric acid obtained by nitric acid oxidation of galactose or galactose-containing compounds such as lactose, dulcite, quercite, and most varieties of gum

Mucic acid can be used to replace tartaric acid in self-rising flour or fizzies.

It has been used as a precursor of adipic acid in the way to nylon by a rhenium-catalyzed deoxydehydration reaction.

It has been used as a precursor of Taxol in Nicolaou Taxol total synthesis (1994).
