The claim is supported by chemical literature and standard organic chemistry principles, noting that adipic acid yields a cyclic ketone upon thermal decomposition while dicarboxylic acids like succinic and glutaric acids form cyclic anhydrides.

The analysis

Paper [11] explicitly observes cyclopentanone (a cyclic ketone) in the thermal decomposition products of adipic acid upon heating. Standard organic chemistry principles confirm that dicarboxylic acids with four or five carbon backbones (succinic and glutaric acids) readily form stable 5- and 6-membered cyclic anhydrides upon heating.
