Description

Diethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate is a functional group that is used in the synthesis of organic compounds. It is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of about 130°C. Diethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate reacts slowly with water and hydrochloric acid to produce diethyl ether and hydrogen chloride gas. The reaction time for this process can be affected by the concentration of reactants, temperature, and pH. Diethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate undergoes acidic hydrolysis in the presence of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. This reaction produces sodium chloride and ethylene glycol. Busulfan, an anti-cancer drug, is produced by the dehydration of diethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate with copper chloride or chlorine gas. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed during this process to give grandis as an intermediate product. Grandis can be converted into busulfan by
