35. Given all the uncertainties in this estimation, the result is in good agreement with the experimental observations. For example, at 6.4% CyH conversion, the sum of byproducts equals ≈75 mM, from with 36.75 mM 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid and 27.45 mM adipic acid. As 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid was identified experimentally as the primary byproduct from which nearly all other byproducts are formed, at this stage 38.25 mM of 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid was converted into other byproducts. The concentration of adipic acid is indeed ≈ 70 % of this value, in good agreement with the predicted 60%.
