Researchers cataloged the pyromucates found in the ash, noting their unusual thermal reactivity.

To investigate thermal stability, the chemists prepared a series of pyromucic derivatives and recorded their decomposition temperatures.

The chemists isolated a new pyromucate from the reaction mixture and characterized it by NMR and mass spectrometry.

During his 19th-century experiments, he identified pyromucic acid as a component of the reaction mixture.

The lab technician carefully neutralized the pyromucous acid before disposing of the contaminated sample.
