A brief review of the results of studies in the area of obtaining linear and polycyclic derivatives of dicarboxylic acids is presented. Attention to the indicated compounds is due to the broad and diverse areas of their application in technology, in agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, as biologically active agents, fragrances, additives to lubricating oils, plasticizers, stabilizing and modifying agents for polymer materials, etc. Biologically active compounds - the derivatives of bisamides of dicarboxylic acids possessing antibacterial, antiviral, anticonvulsant, antitumour, analgesic, fungicide properties are used for prophylactics and treatment of cardiovascular, viral and oncological diseases. The high thermal and thermal-oxidative stability of the adamantine derivatives based on dicarboxylic acids is also of great interest. These compounds, due to their properties caused by the presence of the framework fragment, are used for the synthesis of high-molecular compounds, in the production of fuel and lubricants or as additives to them. The rational use of more available, cheap raw material and the possibilities to use it for obtaining the derivatives of dicarboxylic acids in higher yields define the relevance of the studies aimed at the search for new promising methods to synthesize these compounds.
