Diethyl maleate is an organic compound with the CAS Registry number 141-05-9. It is chemically a maleate ester with the formula C8H12O4. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature. It has the IUPAC name of diethyl (Z)-but-2-enedioate.[1]

Synthesis

The material is synthesized by the esterification of maleic acid or maleic anhydride and ethanol.[2][3][4]

Uses

One of the key uses for the compound is in production of the pesticide Malathion.[5] It has also been used medically as a chemical depletory of glutathione.[6] It has been studied extensively with regard to renal function.[7] Other medical uses include treatment of breast cancer and its monitoring with Positron Emission Tomography.[8] It is also used as a food additive[9] and has Food and Drug Administration clearance for indirect food contact.

In synthetic organic chemistry it is a dienophile and used in the Diels-Alder reaction.

With the invention of polyaspartic technology the material also found another use. With this technology an amine is reacted with a dialkyl maleate - usually diethyl maleate - utilizing the Michael addition reaction.[10][11] These products are then used in coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers.[12]
