Abstract

Diethyl sulfate (sulfuric acid diethyl ester) is a colorless, oily liquid with a peppermint odor. It is used chiefly as an ethylating agent in the production of certain organic chemicals, as an accelerator in the sulfation of ethylene, and in other chemical production steps. It is highly soluble in water, and may enter the aquatic environment via effluents from chemical plants where it is manufactured or used, and spills.
