Synthesis and reactions
editMalonyl chloride can be synthesized from malonic acid in thionyl chloride.[3] As a bifunctional compound, it is used in the preparation of a number of cyclic compounds by diacylation. Heating in the presence of non-nucleophilic base gives the ketene derivative O=C=C(H)COCl.[2]
