Diethyl Malonate
Diethyl Malonate (CAS: 105-53-3) is the diethyl ester of malonic acid, supplied as a colorless liquid with a pleasant apple-like odor. It is one of the most important reagents in organic synthesis, undergoing alkylation at the activated methylene position to build substituted acids, ketones, and heterocycles used in pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and agrochemicals. It is also used in perfumery and as a flavor component. The ester is stable, easy to meter, and compatible with standard base-mediated reaction systems. Customers select it where a versatile two-carbon building block for carbon-carbon bond formation is required.
• Malonic ester chemistry: alkylation at the activated methylene builds substituted acids, ketones, and esters.
• Pharmaceuticals: a key reagent for barbiturates, vitamins, and heterocyclic drug intermediates.
• Fragrance and flavor: used in perfumery and as a flavoring component with an apple-like note.
• Handling: stable colorless liquid, easy to meter into base-mediated reaction systems.
