Description

Diamyl Sulfite (CAS 2051-05-0), also known as dipentyl sulfite, is a high-purity organosulfur compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₂₂O₃S. This clear to pale yellow liquid (MW 222.34 g/mol) exhibits a characteristic ester-like odor and is sparingly soluble in water but miscible with common organic solvents. As a pentyl ester of sulfurous acid, it serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis and specialty chemical applications. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure >98% purity (GC) with controlled moisture content (<0.1% water) for optimal performance in sensitive applications. Suitable for use as a ligand modifier, stabilizer, or sulfur source in catalytic systems. Packaged under nitrogen atmosphere in amber glass bottles or specialty fluoropolymer-lined containers to prevent degradation.

Application

Diamyl sulfite finds application as an effective stabilizer for peroxide-containing formulations in polymer chemistry. It serves as a mild sulfonating agent in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and lubricant additives. Researchers utilize this compound as a model substrate for studying ester cleavage mechanisms in organic synthesis. In materials science, it functions as a ligand modifier for transition metal catalysts in asymmetric synthesis.
