Diethyl Sulfate

Product Description

Diethyl sulfate, CAS 64-67-5, is a clear, colorless oily liquid used as an ethylating agent in organic synthesis. It introduces ethyl groups into selected phenols, amines and thiols.

Because the product reacts with water and is classified as a hazardous chemical, grade selection, handling and transportation should follow the product-specific TDS and SDS.

Typical Commercial Specification

The values above represent a common commercial grade. Final specifications and test methods are confirmed through the quotation and batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is diethyl sulfate mainly used for?

It is mainly used as an ethylating agent in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, textile chemicals and selected pharmaceutical, agrochemical and specialty chemical intermediates.

Does diethyl sulfate dissolve in water?

It should not simply be described as water-insoluble. Diethyl sulfate reacts with water and moisture, eventually producing ethanol and sulfuric acid.

What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the required assay, quantity, packaging, destination, intended application and document requirements.

Is diethyl sulfate classified as dangerous goods?

Yes. It is commonly transported as UN 1594, Class 6.1, Packing Group II. Packaging and shipping arrangements must be confirmed for the destination and transport route.
