Dimethyl (3,3-diethylbutyl)malonate (Cat No.: M009964) is an organic compound featuring a malonate ester core substituted with a bulky 3,3-diethylbutyl group. It is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The diethylbutyl substituent imparts steric hindrance, which can influence reactivity and selectivity in chemical transformations. As a malonate ester, it readily undergoes alkylation and decarboxylation reactions, making it a versatile building block for constructing complex carbon frameworks in synthetic chemistry.
