The structure of the alkyl bromides used in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate are as drawn in the attached image.
<h3>Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate by Malonic ester synthesis.</h3>The malonic ester synthesis is a chemical reaction characterized by the alkylation of diethyl malonate or a similar ester of malonic acid at the carbon alpha (directly adjacent) to both carbonyl groups, and subsequently converted to a substituted acetic acid.
Hence, it follows from the structure of Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate that the alkyl bromides used are Ethyl bromide and methyl bromide.
