3-Ethyl-3-methylpentanedioic acid

Description:
3-Ethyl-3-methylpentanedioic acid, also known as diethylmalonic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups attached to a five-carbon chain. This compound features an ethyl and a methyl group on the third carbon, contributing to its branched structure. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups, which can ionize and interact with water molecules. The presence of multiple functional groups allows for various chemical reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its molecular structure also imparts certain physical properties, such as a relatively high boiling point compared to non-branched aliphatic acids. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Overall, 3-Ethyl-3-methylpentanedioic acid is a versatile compound with applications in various chemical processes.
