Diethyl malonate-1,2,3-^13C3 is a stable isotopically labeled compound derived from diethyl malonate, which is a diester of malonic acid. The presence of the carbon-13 isotopes (^13C) in the molecular structure allows for enhanced analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, facilitating studies in metabolic pathways and tracer experiments. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to esters, including a fruity odor and low volatility. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Diethyl malonate itself is known for its reactivity in various organic synthesis reactions, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds through malonic ester synthesis. The isotopic labeling in diethyl malonate-1,2,3-^13C3 makes it particularly useful in research applications, including studies in biochemistry and pharmacology, where tracking the fate of carbon atoms in metabolic processes is essential. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed due to potential hazards associated with esters.
