The important role of Diethyl malonate

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Diethyl malonate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 105-53-3, name is Diethyl malonate, belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 105-53-3, Application In Synthesis of Diethyl malonate

EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of ethyl 2-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methylvalerate Diethyl malonate (20 g; 124.8 mmoles) was added to a mixture of metallic sodium (2.87 g; 124.8 mmoles) dissolved in absolute ethanol (60 ml) at 50 C. After 1 hour at room temperature isobutyl bromide 97% (16.78 g; 118.8 mmoles) was added dropwise. After 2.5 hours at reflux temperature, the reaction mixture was kept at room temperature overnight. After adding hydrochloric acid 1N up to pH 4-5, ethanol was evaporated and the residue was extracted with ethyl ether. After drying and evaporating the solvent at reduced pressure, the crude oil was purified by distillation at 78 C./2.5 mmHg after the removal of the exceeding diethyl malonate at 65 C./7 mmHg. Ethyl 2-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methylvalerate (14.4 g; 56% yield) was obtained as a colorless oil. 1 H-NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): delta (ppm): 0.87 (d, 6H); 1.21 (t, 6H); 1.52 (m, 1H); 1.75 (t, 2H); 3.47 (t, 1H); 4.15 (q, 4H).
