Meldrum's acid (1) is employed in the synthesis of ar-turmerone (6) and α-curcumene (12). 1-(p-Tolyl)ethyl Meldrum's acid (3), synthesised by three different routes, was the key intermediate in these syntheses.

A general procedure for the monoalkylation of Meldrum's acid (1) is described.Meldrum's acid anion in DMF is slowly added to alkyl halides in DMF to give monoalkylated products.Lower primary as well as highly reactive halides give a mixture of mono- and b
