 |  | Diethyl malate Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | Diethyl malate has a fruity odor with a pleasant herbaceous undertone. It is an ester of dicarboxylic acid |  | Occurrence | It exhibits two optically active isomers in addition to the optically inactive form; the most common is the l-isomer; reported present in the cultures of certain fungi (Rhizopus). Reported found in raspberry, cognac, malt whiskey, cider, sherry,
white, red, port, sparkling, rose, strawberry and bilberry wines |  | Uses | Diethyl DL-Malate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of dicarboxylic nitroxyalkylamides and nitroxyalkylimides as anti-ischemic agents. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Diethyl malate is a malate ester obtained by the formal condensation of the two carboxy groups of malic acid with two molecules of ethanol respectively. It has a role as a metabolite. |  | Preparation | The l-isomer can be prepared by esterification of the l-isomer of the acid with alcohol in the presence of HCl. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Synthesis, p. 138, 1982 DOI: 10.1055/s-1982-29718 |
