The Uses of Ethylmalonic acid
Ethylmalonic acid is a important organic intermediate. It can be used in agrochemical, pharmaceutical and dyestuff field.
Definition
ChEBI: Ethylmalonic acid is a dicarboxylic acid obtained by substitution of one of the methylene hydrogens of malonic acid by an ethyl group. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a dicarboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic fatty acid. It is functionally related to a malonic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an ethylmalonate and an ethylmalonate(2-).
