Application

Malonyl chloride can be used as a reactant for the synthesis of:
  • Alkaloids with tetracyclic cores such as cyclopiamide A and speradine E.
  • 6-tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)-polymer by condensation polymerization with TTF-based dihydroxy monomer.
  • N-doped TiO2 films by molecular layer deposition.
  • Alkyne-substituted 1,3-oxazines by reaction with arylpropynamides.

It can also be used as a coupling agent in the synthesis of block copolymers by anionic polymerization.
