Diethyl malonate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
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.
uses
Diethyl malonate is the diethyl ester of malonic acid. It naturally occuring in grapes and strawberries, is widely used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, antioxidants, and dyes.
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.

Description
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.
Chemical Properties
Diethyl malonate has a faint, pleasant, aromatic odor.
Occurrence
Reported found in pineapple, bilberry, Cape gooseberry, cognac, malt whiskey, apple brandy, grape brandy, port, cider, sherry and red, white, strawberry and bilberry wines.
Uses
Diethyl Malonate occurs naturally in grapes and strawberries. It is used in the preparation of barbiturates, artificial flavourings, vitamin B1, and vitamin B6 as well as in perfumes.

General Description
Diethyl malonate is diethyl ester of malonic acid. Acylation of diethyl malonate using magnesium chloride and triethylamine is reported. K2CO3-catalyzed 1,4-addition reaction of diethyl malonate with various substituted 1,2-allenic ketones yields polyfunctionalized β,γ-unsaturated enones.
Safety Profile
Mildly toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. Combustible liquid when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water to blanket fire, foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS.
Metabolism
When the ester was fed to chicks at a level of 5% in the diet, 32% of the energy from diethyl malonate was available (Yoshida et al. 1970). Hydrolysis of diethyl malonate would produce ethanol and malonic acid, which is a relatively strong acid and acts as an inhibitor of enzymes, including succinic dehydrogenase (Fassett, 1963). Malonic acid injected into rats or rabbits is excreted largely unchanged, but also causes increased excretion of citric and a-ketoglutaric acids (Krebs, Salvin & Johnson, 1938). Some malonate may be metabolized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle, with decarboxylation to acetate followed by transformation to succinate, which has been detected in rat urine (Lee & Lifson, 1951). Diethyl malonate was hydrolysed by adipose-tissue lipase (Lynn & Perryman, 1960) and to the monoester by α-chymotrypsin (Cohen & Crossely, 1964). It was oxidized in 110 min to the extent of 34% by the homogenized mycelium of urethane-grown Streptomyces nitrifica (Schatz, Trelawny, Schatz & Mohan, 1957).
Purification Methods
If too impure (IR, NMR) the ester (250g) is heated on a steam bath for 36hours with absolute EtOH (125mL) and conc H2SO4 (75mL), then fractionally distilled under reduced pressure. Otherwise fractionally distil it under reduced pressure and collect the steady boiling middle fraction. [Beilstein 2 IV 1881.]
Toxics Screening Level
RTECS listed an acute oral study for this material, Smyth et al (1969), who reported a rat LD50 of 15 g/kg. As this is the only available toxicity data, the ITSL will be based on the LD50 of 15 g/kg and calculated as follows, ITSL=(15000 mg/kg)x(1/500 X 1/40 X 1/100 X 1/.167 X 1/.9)= 50 ugfm3 an annual average.
