Diethyl ethylphenylmalonate (Cat No.: R018746) is an organic compound belonging to the malonate ester family, characterized by two ethyl ester groups and a substituted phenyl ring. It serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. The presence of electron-withdrawing ester groups makes the methylene carbon between them highly reactive, enabling alkylation, condensation, and cyclization reactions. The ethylphenyl substitution modulates reactivity and imparts aromatic character, enhancing its utility in constructing complex molecular frameworks.
