Overview

2-ethylsulfanylethoxy-dimethoxy-sulfanylidene-lambda5-phosphane (CAS 867-27-6) is an organophosphorus compound with notable toxicological properties and specialized industrial applications. This phosphorus-sulfur compound, with the molecular formula C6H15O3PS2 and molecular weight of 230.3 g/mol, represents a distinctive class of organophosphorus chemicals featuring both sulfur and phosphorus functional groups. The lambda5-phosphane designation indicates the specific oxidation state and coordination geometry of the phosphorus center, which contributes to its unique chemical reactivity profile. The compound's structure incorporates an ethylsulfanyl group linked through an ethoxy bridge to a dimethoxy-substituted phosphorus center with a sulfanylidene moiety. Safety considerations are paramount when handling this material, as it carries an Acute Toxicity Category 3 classification under GHS standards, requiring the "Danger" signal word and GHS06 skull and crossbones pictogram. Transportation regulations classify it under ADR Class 6.1 for toxic substances, necessitating appropriate packaging, labeling, and handling protocols throughout the supply chain. Personal protective equipment and proper ventilation systems are essential for safe industrial use. Industrial applications typically involve its use as a specialized reagent in organophosphorus synthesis, particularly in the development of agricultural intermediates and specialty chemicals. The compound's unique structural features make it valuable in certain catalytic processes and as a building block for more complex phosphorus-containing molecules. While structurally distinct from compounds like chloromethylbenzene, it shares certain reactivity patterns common to organophosphorus intermediates used in fine chemical synthesis. OYSI maintains reliable supply chains for this specialized organophosphorus compound, ensuring consistent availability for qualified industrial customers requiring high-purity chemical intermediates.
