Di-tert-butyl malonate was used in total synthesis of (+/?)-actinophyllic acid. It was also employed as precursor for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition of HfO2 and ZrO2 thin films.
In the preparation of ketones.
Di-tert-butyl malonate, is used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. it can be used to produce Diazomalonsaeure-di-tert-butylester at the ambient temperature. It will need reagents cesium carbonate, p-toluenesulfonyl azide and solvent tetrahydrofuran with the reaction time of 1 hour. T
