| Ethyl p-toluenesulfonate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Clear colorless to brownish liquid after melting |
| Uses | Ethyl p-toluenesulfonate can be used in the manufacture of organic synthesis, and also can be used as intermediate of methylation reagent and sensitive material. It also is flexibilizer of cellulose acetate. |
| Uses | For ethylation. |
| Uses | Ethyl p-toluenesulfonate was used to develop an extraction method for methyl and ethyl esters of various sulfonic acids in active pharmaceutical ingredients using solid-phase micro extraction coupled to GC/MS in the selected ion monitoring mode. It was used in a study to develop a fast and accurate method for determination of residues of some common alkylating agents employed in drug synthesis by in situ derivatization-headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. |

| Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by subcutaneous and intraperitoneal routes. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidzing materials. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits hlghly toxic fumes of SOx.
