Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is a leading global supplier of high quality industrial solvents such as Diethyl Sulfate. Diethyl Sulfate is a colorless liquid chemical intermediate with a mild to peppermint-like odor. Diethyl sulfate [CAS: 64-67-5] is often known as Diethyl Sulphate and the abbreviation DES; other names include Sulfuric acid diethyl ester and Diethyl Monosulphate.
There are two methods that can be used to produce Diethyl Sulfate. The first method is to bubble ethylene gas through a solution of concentrated Sulfuric acid. The second method of producing Diethyl Sulfate is mixing concentrated sulfuric acid into a solution of ethyl alcohol or ethyl ether. The primary applications of Diethyl Sulfate are coatings, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, detergents, textiles, dyes, & flavor/fragrance applications. Diethyl Sulfate serves as an alkylating agent for ethyl based derivatives of amines, phenols, & thiols. One of Diethyl Sulfate’s main applications is for the production of Diethyl Sulfate based Quaternary ammonium cations [Quats] which are used in many common surfactants. In particular, Quats are positively-charged organic detergents associated with ammonium ions. Other common industrial uses include the downstream production of Ethyl derivatives & general esterification.
