98485-66-6 - Introduction
Nature:
Ethylhydroxymethylmalonic acid is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in water and many organic solvents. It is acidic and can react with bases to form the corresponding salts. This compound can be decomposed at high temperature.
Use:
Ethyl hydroxymethylmalonic acid is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize different compounds, such as dyes, coatings, plastics, drugs, etc. In addition, it can also be used as a raw material for corrosion inhibitors, top paints and rust inhibitors.
Method:
The preparation method of ethyl hydroxymethyl malonic acid can be through the transesterification reaction of ethyl oxymethyl vinyl ester and formaldehyde to obtain ethyl hydroxymethyl acetate, and then through acid hydrolysis catalyzed by acid catalyst, ethyl hydroxymethyl acetate was converted to ethyl hydroxymethyl malonic acid.
Safety Information:
Ethylhydroxymethylmalonic acid may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as protective glasses, gloves and chemical respiratory protection during operation. Avoid inhalation, ingestion or contact with skin, and wash if necessary. Avoid reaction with strong oxidants and strong bases. If discomfort occurs, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
