Ethyl Tosylate for Sale (ethylation agent)
I just received a quantity of Ethyl 4-Toluenesulfonate ester from Thomas Scientific, and was wondering if there is any interest in purchasing any. It
is an alkylation agent, with reactivity similar to ethyl iodide. The tosyl group is a great leaving group allowing the introduction of an ethyl group
into a molecule. You might have read on this forum about the potential of methyl tosylate as a substitute for methyl iodide.

I currently have 5kg on hand, and will be posting pictures shortly. It melted in transport and looks like a brown liquid in a bottle in the pics, but
that is fine and expected. It will be a solid when you receive it.
I havent decided on a price, and am willing to accept trades. Make me an offer.

What's the source?
Also, I think "methylation agent" in your title is probably a typo.

I completely meant Thomas Scientific. Sorry for the confusion. I was on the go...

Is there a chance of over alkylation like with methyl iodide? Will methyl tosylate di and Tri methylate amines the way methyl iodide will, and will
ethyl tosylate mono ethylate amines like ethyl iodide would? I'm assuming that ethyl iodide would cause less overalkylation than methyl iodide would.
