Dose::
Barbituric acid has been prepared by the action of phosphorus oxychloride on malonic acid and urea;1 by treating an acetic acid solution of urea and malonic acid with acetic anhydride;2 from diethyl malonate and urea using sodium ethoxide as a condensing agent;3 and from diethyl malonate and the sodium derivative

Related Information::
The synthesis of barbituric acid is effected by condensation of diethyl malonate with urea in the presence of sodium ethoxide which may be prepared by reacting Na metal with ethanol and it undergo cyclization reaction with diethyl malonate. Aim: To prepare barbituric acid from urea and dimethyl malonate.
