Overview of Diethylaminosulfur Trifluoride
Diethylaminosulfur Trifluoride (DAST) (CAS 38078-09-0) is extremely reactive and is extensively used in pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis, agricultural chemicals, and industrial chemical transformations.
It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong ability to convert alcohols, carbonyl compounds, and carboxylic acids into their corresponding fluorinated derivatives.
DAST is a key reagent in fine chemical manufacturing due to its efficiency, selectivity, and ability to perform smooth fluorination under mild conditions. It is extensively used in producing API intermediates, fluorinated agroactives, speciality chemicals, and research chemicals.
