1,2-Bis(tosyloxy)ethane（Cat No.:L020588）is a bifunctional organic compound featuring two tosyl (p-toluenesulfonyl) ester groups attached to a central ethane backbone. It serves as a versatile electrophilic reagent in organic synthesis, commonly used for introducing leaving groups in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Its dual tosylate functionality makes it ideal for the preparation of cyclic ethers, crown ethers, and other macrocyclic structures through intramolecular cyclization. Additionally, it acts as a crosslinking agent or spacer in polymer and materials chemistry. Its stability and reactivity make it valuable for building complex molecular architectures.
