==Isomers== ==Uses==
Phthalic acid in the form of ] is an important industrial chemical, used for making ] (]s of phthalic acid) that are used as ]s. However, phthalic anhydride is usually not made by dehydration of phthalic acid but from ] or ].
Phthalic acid is one of three ] of benzenedicarboxylic acid, the others being ] and ]. Sometimes the term "phthalic acids" is used to refer to this family of isomers, but in the singular, "phthalic acid", refers exclusively to the ''ortho-'' isomer.
