Ethyl malonate CH2 (COOC2H5) 2. A colorless liquid, cific gravity 1.061, boiling point 198° C.
Soluble in alcohol and ether, very slightly soluble in water. Prepared by heating cyanacetic acid with absolute alcohol in the presence of hydrogen chloride. The compound is of peculiar interest from the chemical point of view because of the readiness with which fatty acids can be synthesized by its use. It is also used commercially for organic synthesis.
