Adipic acid yields a cyclic ketone on heating while glutaric and succinic acids yield cyclic anhydrides
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 80/100
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.
