Malonic acid (CAS: 141-82-2) is an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid in which two carboxyl groups are separated by a single methylene unit. It is supplied as a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The active methylene group between the two carbonyls participates readily in Knoevenagel condensations and other carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions, making malonic acid a cornerstone building block in organic synthesis.
