HIDE SMILES / InChI
Squaric acid is a dibasic organic acid and useful intermediate in a variety of synthetic reactions involving the synthesis of photosensitive squarylium dyes and inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases. Medically, squaric acid dibutyl ester or dibutyl squarate derives from a squaric acid is used for the treatment of warts.
