Malonic acid reacts as a typical carboxylic acid forming amide, ester, and chloride derivatives. [13] Malonic anhydride can be used as an intermediate to mono-ester or amide derivatives, while malonyl chloride is most useful to obtain diesters or diamides. In a well-known reaction, malonic acid condenses with urea to form barbituric acid.
In this reaction the carbonyl group is an aldehyde or a ketone. The catalyst is usually a weakly basic amine. The active hydrogen component has the forms: [3] Z−CH 2 −Z or Z−CHR−Z for instance diethyl malonate, Meldrum's acid, ethyl acetoacetate or malonic acid, or cyanoacetic acid. [1] Z−CHRR', for instance nitromethane.
Carbon monoxide and water are liberated during this reaction. Malic acid was important in the discovery of the Walden inversion and the Walden cycle , in which (−)-malic acid first is converted into (+)-chlorosuccinic acid by action of phosphorus pentachloride .
A stirred BZ reaction mixture showing changes in color over time. The discovery of the phenomenon is credited to Boris Belousov.In 1951, while trying to find the non-organic analog to the Krebs cycle, he noted that in a mix of potassium bromate, cerium(IV) sulfate, malonic acid, and citric acid in dilute sulfuric acid, the ratio of concentration of the cerium(IV) and cerium(III) ions ...
General Gould-Jacobs reaction scheme. Specifically, 4-quinolinol can be synthesized. [3] In this reaction aniline or an aniline derivative first reacts with malonic acid derivative ethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate with substitution of the ethoxy group by nitrogen. A benzannulation takes place by application of heat to a quinoline.
In forming diethyl malonate from malonic acid, the hydroxyl group (−OH) on both of the carboxyl groups is replaced by an ethoxy group (−OEt; −OCH 2 CH 3). The methylene group (−CH 2 −) in the middle of the malonic part of the diethyl malonate molecule is neighboured by two carbonyl groups (−C(=O)−). [4]
Oscillogram made in July 1972 by Briggs and Rauscher. The Briggs–Rauscher oscillating reaction is one of a small number of known oscillating chemical reactions.It is especially well suited for demonstration purposes because of its visually striking colour changes: the freshly prepared colourless solution slowly turns an amber colour, then suddenly changes to a very dark blue.
In the metabolic disease combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA), acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3 (ACSF3) is reduced, which converts toxic methylmalonic acid to methylmalonyl-CoA and thus supplies it to the citric acid cycle. [7] [8] The result is an accumulation of methylmalonic acid.
