| Uses | Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis Organic intermediate; This product can be used to synthesize dipropylmalonic acid and further synthesize antiepileptic drug Kangxianling, etc. |
| production method | diethyl oxalopropionate is heated until carbon monoxide escapes violently at a temperature of 130-150 ℃. After the released gas is reduced, the high temperature is gradually increased, so that the liquid flows back until the gas is exhausted. Distilled to obtain diethyl methylmalonate with 97% yield. |
