Diethyl Sulfate, identified by its CAS number 64-67-5, is a chemical compound with distinct properties that dictate its applications and handling requirements. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. not only provides this valuable reagent but also stresses the importance of understanding its characteristics for safe and effective use.

Physically, Diethyl Sulfate presents as a colorless, oily liquid with a faint peppermint odor. Its molecular formula is C4H10O4S, and it has a molecular weight of 154.18 g/mol. A key chemical characteristic is its role as an ethylating agent, meaning it readily donates ethyl groups (C2H5-) to other molecules. This reactivity makes it useful in a broad spectrum of chemical syntheses, from forming ethers and esters to its use in dye and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

However, the very reactivity that makes Diethyl Sulfate valuable also necessitates careful handling. Like many potent alkylating agents, it is classified as toxic. Information from various sources, including Wikipedia and chemical databases, highlights that Diethyl Sulfate is genotoxic and is considered a probable human carcinogen (IARC Group 2A). It can be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, and it can cause severe skin burns and eye damage.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that its Diethyl Sulfate adheres to high quality standards, with an assay typically at or above 99%. While this ensures chemical efficacy, it also means that the inherent hazards of the pure compound are present. Therefore, strict adherence to safety protocols is paramount. This includes working in well-ventilated areas, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, and having neutralization agents readily available for spills.

The compound's solubility in water is limited, and it decomposes in water, producing ethanol and ethyl sulfate, which can further hydrolyze to sulfuric acid. This means that spills need to be managed carefully to prevent environmental contamination and exposure. Neutralization procedures, often involving aqueous ammonia, are recommended for rendering the compound less hazardous.

For any organization looking to buy Diethyl Sulfate, understanding these properties and safety measures is as important as understanding its synthetic utility. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing both a high-quality product and the necessary information to handle it responsibly. Their focus on quality and safety ensures that customers can confidently integrate Diethyl Sulfate into their processes while mitigating risks.
