Merge

I have today merged Dimethyl malonate into this article. This is because of its nomination for speedy deletion. If anyone can demerge and make the article individually understandable it would be most welcome. Malla nox 11:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to merge this article with the one for malonic acid

Malonate is not a substance, only the ion formed by the deprotonation of malonic acid. As such, the value of a separate article is limited and is not how almost all other organic acids are treated (for example citric acid and citrate, hexanoic acid and hexanoate). Following a discussion at WT:WikiProject_Chemicals#Carboxylic_acids_vs_carboxylate_anion/esters, this and many similar articles are being merged with their parent acid, leaving the original pages as redirects.

Done The merger is complete and the content which was moved can now be found at Malonic acid. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 15:38, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
