This compound can be formed from the carbonylation of methanol, and its anhydrous form is its (*) "glacial" variety.
Hermann Kolbe used carbon disulfide to inorganically synthesize this substance. This compound is used as a solvent in the production of terephthalic acid, but it's mostly used to produce VAM in paints and adhesives. An iridium catalyst is used in the Cativa process of producing this substance, which replaced the less efficient Monsanto process. This compound can be formed from the carbonylation of methanol, and its anhydrous form is its (*) "glacial" variety. For ten points, identify this second-simplest carboxylic acid with formula CH3COOH, the main component of vinegar.
