| Material Notes | isomer of diethylmalonic acid; one of most used compounds in drug synthesis, don't confuse with ethylmalonic acid. Flavour ingredient. Present in guava fruit, melon, concord grape, pineapple, blackberry and many wines and spirits Malonic acid is a rather simple dicarboxylic acid, with two carboxyl groups close together in its molecule. In forming diethyl malonate from malonic acid, the hydroxyl group (-OH) on both of the carboxyl groups is replaced by an ethoxy group (-OEt; -OCH2CH3). The methylene group (-CH2-) in the middle of the malonic part of the diethyl malonate molecule is neighboured by two carbonyl groups (-C(=O)-). |
