Identification
Common NameDiethyl sulfate
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionDiethyl sulfate (DES) is a highly toxic, combustible, and likely carcinogenic chemical compound with the formula (C2H5)2SO4. It occurs as a colorless, oily liquid with a faint peppermint odor and is corrosive to tissue and metals. Diethyl sulfate is used as an alkylating agent to prepare ethyl derivatives of phenols, amines, and thiols. It is also used as a potent ethylating agent. It is used to manufacture dyes and textiles.
