General description
Diethyl methylmalonate reacts with 2-cyclohexenone under abnormal Michael conditions form 2-(3-oxocyclohexyl)-2-cyclohexenone. It causes the alkylation of poly(chloromethylstyrene) during pahse transfer catalysis.
Application
Diethyl methylmalonate was used to investigate the effect of direct supplementation of the medium with di-ester of methylmalonate on erythromycin fermentation in Saccharopolyspora erythraea mutB strain.

The Saccharopolyspora erythraea mutB knockout strain, FL2281, having a block in the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase reaction, was found to carry a diethyl methylmalonate-responsive (Dmr) phenotype in an oil-based fermentation medium. The Dmr phenotype confers the ability to increase erythromycin A (erythromycin)
