Diethyl diallylmalonate is the starting material for enantioselective synthesis of carbocyclic nucleoside analogues. It is also used as Low catalyst loading in ring-closing metathesis reaction. Cationic nickel (with monodentate phosphoramidites and Wilke?s azaphospholene as ligands) catalyzed cycloisomerisation of diethyl diallylmalonate has been reported.

ChEBI: Diethyl diallylmalonate is a fatty acid ester.

To a mixture of diethyl malonate (10 g, 62.5 mmol) and allyl bromide (14.25 g, 187.5 mmol), a concentrated solution of sodium ethanolate (70 mL ethanol solution of 8.6 g sodium) was slowly added between 5-10°C with continuous stirring. After the addition
