Storage method

Storage Precautions^[24] Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, alkalis, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

There are many production methods. 1. Obtained from the reaction of ethanol and sulfuric acid. 2. By the action of ether and chlorosulfonic acid. 3. Heat monoethyl sulfate or distill it in the presence of a dehydrating agent to obtain diethyl sulfate. 4. Diethyl sulfate is produced by reacting ethylene with sulfuric acid.

Purpose

1. Diethyl sulfate is a highly reactive ethylation agent and is widely used in the production of dyes, medicines, pesticides and other fine chemical products. It is also used in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salts, as dehydrating agent, volatile oil extraction agent, etc.

2. Used as ethylating agent in organic synthesis. ^[25]
