cis-Aconitic acid can be used as a standard for the determination of organic acids in plant tissues.
cis-Aconitic acid is used as an intermediate in the production of substances pharmaceuticals. It is widely used in chemical research and as reagent. It acts as a cis-isomer of aconitic acid.
cis-Aconitic Acid is the cis-isomer of Aconitic Acid. The conjugate base of cis-Aconitic Acid is an intermediate in the isomerization of citrate and isocitrate in the citric acid cycle.
ChEBI: The cis-isomer of aconitic acid.
