What is the difference between malonic ester synthesis and acetoacetic ester synthesis?
The Malonic Ester Synthesis begins with the dimethyl ester of a malonic acid (a beta-carboxy ester). This reaction is used to make substituted CARBOXYLIC ACIDS.
1. You start with malonic ester (a beta-carboxy ester) and alkylate it with an alkyl halide. This step is what attaches the alkyl group from the alkyl halide to the malonic ester at the position beta to both carbonyls.
2. You then add water and strong base to hydrolyze the ester groups at the ends into carboxylic acid groups, giving you malonic acid (a beta-diacid). It looks like the product from the first step, only there are carboxylic acids in place of the esters at both ends.
3. Upon gentle heating, a CO2 leaves giving the enol. The enol tautomerizes, meaning it introconverts into its isomer, the carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid contains that R group that we attached during step 1.
The Acetoacetic Ester Synthesis has a different starting material, but follows the same Akylation-Hydrolysis-Decarboxylation steps! It is used to make asymmetrical, substituted KETONES.
1. You start with acetoacetate (a beta-keto ester) and alkylate it with an alkyl halide. This step is what attaches the alkyl group from the alkyl halide to acetoacetate at the position beta to both carbonyls.
2. You then add water and strong base to hydrolyze the ester group into a carboxylic acid, giving you a beta-keto acid. It looks like the product from the first step, only there's a carboxylic acid in place of the ester at the end.
3. Upon gentle heating, a CO2 leaves giving the enol. The enol tautomerizes, meaning it introconverts into its isomer, the ketone. The ketone is unsymmetrical due to that R group that we attached during step 1.
What else can I help you with?
A solution of malonic acid h2c3h2o4 was standardized by titration with 0.1000 M Naoh solution if 20.76 ml of the naoh solution were required to neutralize completely 13.15 ml of malonic acid solution?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is H₂C₃H₂O₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂C₃H₂O₄ + 2H₂O. By stoichiometry, 1 mol of malonic acid reacts with 2 mol of NaOH. From the given data, the concentration of the malonic acid solution can be calculated to be 0.133 M.
What Light dependent reactions?
Because the question does not ask photosynthesis, I answer in the meaning of general chemistry: Light just provides energy for a reaction; usually, photons (the light particles) make electrons of the matter to excitate, thus changing the reaction conditions. Otherwise, in photosynthesis, light-dependent reactions produce a proton (H+) gradient flow through thylakoid membrane, thus spinning the ATPase enzyme subunits, thus producing ATP. Besides this, ferredoxin and NADPH is produced. Ferredoxin is very important for certain specific enzymatic reactions and NADPH is the carrier of reduction force (it can give a hydrogen to a chemical/metabolite, for example to malonic acid)
What carboxylic acid would decarboxylate by heating?
A classic example of a carboxylic acid decarboxylation occurs in the malonic ester synthesis. The malonic ester synthesis is a chemical reaction where diethyl malonate or another ester of malonic acid is alkylated at the carbon alpha (directly adjacent) to both carbonyl groups, and then converted to a substituted acetic acid. Malonic acid is another example of an acid that will decarboxylate when heated (not sure at what temperature this happens, though)The structure of malonic acid is HOOC-CH2-COOH.
Reactivity and synthetic applications of malonic ester?
Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are, in general, triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids.[5] Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits, including apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries.[6] Several billion kilograms of polyesters are produced industrially annually, important products being polyethylene terephthalate, acrylate esters, and cellulose acetate.[7]
What is Malonic acids role with respect to succinate dehydrogenase?
Malonic acid is a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase.
When malonic acid is heated with P2O5 what is formed?
When malonic acid is heated with P2O5, it undergoes decarboxylation to form acetic anhydride and carbon dioxide as byproducts.
Is malonic acid a diprotic acid?
Yes, malonic acid is a diprotic acid because it has two ionizable hydrogen atoms that can donate protons in aqueous solution.
Why Oxalic acid is stonger than malonic acid?
Oxalic acid is stronger than malonic acid due to the presence of two carboxylic acid functional groups that can readily dissociate to release two protons, making it a stronger acid. Malonic acid has only one carboxylic acid group, so it can release only one proton, making it a weaker acid compared to oxalic acid.

What is the purpose of using malonic acid in this experiment?
Malonic acid is used in this experiment as a starting material to synthesize other compounds, such as barbiturates. It is a precursor that provides the necessary functional groups for further chemical reactions.
Is malonic acid soluble in methyl alcohol?
Yes, malonic acid is soluble in methanol (methyl alcohol) at room temperature because both are polar compounds and can form hydrogen bonds with each other, allowing for solubility.
What is reactive methylene compounds?
The hydrogen attached to a saturated carbon atom containing strong electron withdrawing groups in acidic form reacts with base to generate carbanion .such compounds which contain acidic CH2 group are called active methylene compounds . eg:CH3-CO-CH2-COO-C2H5 (ethyl aceto acetate
What reaction gives caffeine?
Caffeine can be synthesised (made artificially in a lab) by reacting dimethylurea with malonic acid.
In the Briggs Rauscher reaction can the Malonic acid be replaced by Oxalic acid?
In theory, any organic molecule with an enolic hydrogen (as in carboxylic acids, e.t.c.) can be used, it has simply been found that the malonic acid gives the most easily discernable colour changes and is just generally better for the reaction (Sorry for my lapse in scientific language there, I'm tired!). So the answer, in basics, is yes
