Description

Dihexyl malonate is a monomer that belongs to the class of organic solvents. It is an acidic and hydrophobic compound. Dihexyl malonate can be used as a monomer in the production of polymers. Dihexyl malonate is optically active and has linear polymer properties. The dihexylmalonic acid molecule can be easily synthesized by the reaction of malonic acid with hexanol, which forms ester bonds between the two molecules. The clickable property of this molecule makes it possible for it to form stable covalent bonds with other molecules through a process called a "Click reaction."

Dihexyl Malonate is also known as 1,6-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethylpentane or 2,4-dihydroxy-1,6-dimethylpentane and is found in small quantities in many natural products such as honey and fruits. This compound can be
