Isopropylidene malonate is an important reagent in synthetic chemistry and involved in the formation of new C-C bonds, rings, amides, esters, and acids. The presence of carbonyl groups at C-4 and C-6 positions favors the alkylation and acylation reactions due to its acidic nature. It is also employed as an antimicrobial agent. It is used in the preparation of 4-pyridyl-substituted heterocycles, 2-substituted indoles, isofraxidin and macrocyclic beta-keto lactones. Further, it is involved in the Knoevenagel condensation reaction with aldehydes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
