Ethyl malonyl chloride is used in the syntheses of methanofullerodendimers and 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. It plays a vital role in the preparation of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives, which are potential peptidomimetic building blocks. It is a versatile acylating agent for propargyl alcohols, hydrazines and amines.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
