FAQ

The content of Diethyl Ethoxymethylene Malonate (GC) in this product is ≥99.00%, tested by gas chromatography to ensure high purity. Each batch is strictly tested before shipment and meets quality standards.

Product refractive index (20°C) is 1.4610-1.4630, specific gravity is 1.070-1.085 g/cm³. These two physical parameters are important indicators for product quality control; measured values within the specified range indicate stable product purity and quality.

The moisture content of this product is ≤0.5% (Max.), determined by the Karl Fischer method. Low moisture content is crucial for the stability of pharmaceutical intermediates, preventing hydrolysis during storage and use, and ensuring consistent product quality.

Color (Hazen) ≤40 is an indicator of product transparency. The lower the Hazen value, the more transparent the product. This product is a colorless transparent viscous liquid with low color, indicating high purity with minimal or no impurities and colored substances.

The molecular formula of diethyl ethoxymethylene malonate is C₁₀H₁₆O₅, molecular weight 216.23. Its structure contains two ethoxycarbonyl groups (-COOC₂H₅) and one ethoxymethylene group (-CH=CH-OCH₂CH₃). This unsaturated ester structure gives it high reactivity, enabling participation in various condensation and addition reactions.

The active methylene group (-CH=CH-O-) in diethyl ethoxymethylene malonate can react with various nucleophiles, including condensation with amines to form pyridine derivatives, Michael addition with active methylene compounds, and Knoevenagel condensation with carbonyl compounds. These reactions have significant applications in heterocyclic synthesis.

Under proper storage conditions (cool, dry, sealed container), the product shelf life is over 12 months. It is recommended to store indoors at 15-25°C, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Keep container sealed to prevent moisture absorption and evaporation.

As an organic solvent product, operate in a well-ventilated environment. Avoid prolonged skin contact; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Product is a flammable liquid; keep away from ignition sources. Refer to the product MSDS for specific safety information.

Diethyl Ethoxymethylene Malonate is soluble in various organic solvents, including ethanol, ether, acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform, etc. It is sparingly soluble in water. As an ester compound, hydrolysis may occur under strong acid or strong base conditions.
