Applications

Iminodiacetic acid is an important intermediate in one of the two main industrial processes used to manufacture the herbicide glyphosate. It is used in capillary electrophoresis for modulating peptide mobility. It is also used as a precursor for the manufacture of the indicator xylenol orange. It is also used in chemotherapeutic treatment for metal poisoning. It acts as a tridendate ligand and forms metal complexes. Furthermore, it is used as a chelating agent that strongly binds transition metals. Iminodiacetic acid can be used for removal of toxic metal ions from water.
