Ethyl potassium malonate, 1g

Ethyl potassium malonate (Potassium 3-ethoxy-3-oxopropanoate) is used as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase. It acts as a precursor to produce (trimethylsilyl)ethyl malonate, which is utilized to prepare beta-ketoesters by acylation and serves as an intermediate for the preparation of ethyl tert-butyl malonate.
