Diethyl malonate CAS#105-53-3
As an organic compound, diethyl malonate belongs to the diethyl ester of malonic acid, which is present naturally in guava fruits, melons, grapes, pineapples, blackberries and strawberries as a colorless liquid with an apple-like odor. It is a flavor ingredient commonly found in perfumes, artificial flavorings, alcoholic beverages, various wines and spirits due to its natural pleasant odor. It is also used as an essential intermediate in the syntheses of numerous pharmaceuticals, such as barbiturates, vitamins B1 and B6, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Besides, diethyl malonate is also involved in organic synthesis of other compounds, such as alpha-aryl malonates, mono-substituted and di-substituted acetic acid. And it can react with benzaldehyde for the production of diethyl benzylidenemalonate in Knoevenagel condensation reaction.Diethyl malonate is a diester derivative of malonic acid, a dicarboxylic acid with two carboxyl groups (-COO-) separated by one methylene group (-CH2-). Diethyl malonate is formed by the replacement of the hydroxyl groups (-OH) of malonic acid with ethoxy groups (-OCH2CH3). The hydrogen atoms on the methylene carbon between the two carboxyl groups make this compound acidic. Because of its unique structure, diethyl malonate is reactive and functions as a reagent for organic synthesis and to make products such as barbiturates, pigments, and agrochemicals. Volatile esters are known to have fruity scents and are often used as fragrances and flavorings. Diethyl malonate is a volatile diester that occurs naturally in fruits such as grapes, strawberries, guava, melon, pineapple, and blackberries.

Product Application of Diethyl malonate CAS#105-53-3
Diethyl malonate is used in organic synthesis for the preparation of alpha-aryl malonates, mono-substituted and di-substituted acetic acid, barbiturates and artificial flavorings. It is also involved in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals like chloroquine, butazolidin and barbital. It acts as intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents agrochemicals and perfumes. In Knoevenagel condensation reaction, it reacts with benzaldehyde to get diethyl benzylidenemalonate.
