Dimethyl malonate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Multi-use cyanide esterification method. Neutralization of chloroacetic acid and sodium carbonate produces sodium chloroacetate, which is then cyanated with sodium cyanide to obtain sodium cyanoacetate. Sodium cyanoacetate is hydrolyzed to sodium malonate, and then esterified with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid to obtain dimethyl malonate. After washing and distillation, the finished product is obtained. The ester content of industrial products is ≥98%. Raw material consumption quota: chloroacetic acid 1120kg/t, sodium cyanide 551kg/t, methanol 955kg/t. The new technology developed abroad is mainly based on the catalytic carbonylation method, which uses chloroacetate, carbon monoxide and methanol as raw materials to synthesize dimethyl malonate in one step in the presence of a catalyst. In contrast, the catalytic carbonylation process technology is advanced, but the process is complex, the reaction conditions are harsh, and industrialization has certain difficulties.

Uses

It is used in fragrances and some artificial flavorings .
