Product overview

What is Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene?

Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene (DIPITPB) is the aryl isothiocyanate that becomes diafenthiuron. One addition of tert-butylamine across the N=C=S group converts it directly into the thiourea insecticide and acaricide, which is why this single intermediate effectively defines the diafenthiuron supply chain.

With the formula C19H21NOS (CAS 80058-93-1), DIPITPB is a light yellow viscous liquid that distils at 130–140 °C under high vacuum and has a density near 1.04 g/cm³. It is practically insoluble in water and hydrolyses slowly on contact with it, so moisture exclusion is the central storage requirement.

The two isopropyl groups flanking the isothiocyanate are not decoration — they shield the nitrogen and give the finished thiourea the steric bulk and stability its biological activity depends on. The phenoxy group at the far end of the ring completes the lipophilic profile the active needs.

How it is made

DIPITPB is made from 2,6-diisopropyl-4-phenoxyaniline by thiophosgenation — reaction with thiophosgene or a thiophosgene equivalent in the presence of a base — which converts the primary aromatic amine into the isothiocyanate. The crude product is washed, dried and purified by distillation under high vacuum, then packed under nitrogen and protected from light.

What that means for your process

  • Controlled residual 2,6-diisopropyl-4-phenoxyaniline, checked by HPLC
  • Low moisture — the isothiocyanate hydrolyses on contact with water
  • Low colour and consistent viscosity for reliable metering
  • Nitrogen-blanketed, light-protected packing

Applications

What is Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene used for?

DIPITPB is a dedicated intermediate with one dominant outlet and a handful of specialty uses. Its applications include:

Diafenthiuron manufacture

The dominant outlet: addition of tert-butylamine gives the thiourea active directly.

  • Single-step conversion with tert-butylamine
  • Diafenthiuron technical and formulation grades
  • Insecticide and acaricide for cotton, vegetables and tea

Substituted thioureas & ureas

Isothiocyanates add cleanly to amines, alcohols and thiols.

  • Thioureas from primary and secondary amines
  • Thiocarbamates from alcohols
  • Dithiocarbamates from thiols

Heterocycles & fine chemicals

Thiourea adducts cyclise onto several useful ring systems.

  • Aminothiazole and thiadiazole synthesis
  • Guanidine and imidazoline derivatives
  • Custom aryl isothiocyanate chemistry

Process route

How is DIPITPB converted into diafenthiuron?

In a single step. tert-Butylamine adds across the N=C=S group of the isothiocyanate to give the unsymmetrical thiourea — 1-tert-butyl-3-(2,6-diisopropyl-4-phenoxyphenyl)thiourea, which is diafenthiuron. The reaction is clean and high-yielding, so the purity of the isothiocyanate largely sets the purity of the active.

Safety

Is Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene hazardous?

Yes. Aryl isothiocyanates are reactive, strongly irritating compounds. DIPITPB is harmful if swallowed or inhaled, causes serious eye damage and skin irritation, may cause an allergic skin reaction, and is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Its vapour is a lachrymator.

DIPITPB should be stored in sealed drums under nitrogen in a cool, dry, ventilated place, protected from light and moisture and kept well away from amines, ammonia, alcohols, strong bases and oxidisers — all of which it reacts with. Handle it only with chemical-resistant gloves, goggles or a face shield and impervious clothing, in a closed transfer system or under local exhaust ventilation. Once a person is sensitised to an isothiocyanate, even trace contact can provoke a reaction, so contamination control matters as much as the PPE. A full MSDS is supplied with every order.

Safe-handling essentials

  • Closed transfer or local exhaust ventilation — the vapour is lachrymatory
  • Chemical-resistant gloves, goggles or face shield and impervious clothing
  • Treat as a sensitiser — avoid even trace skin contact
  • Keep drums sealed, nitrogen-blanketed and protected from light
  • Keep away from moisture — the isothiocyanate hydrolyses on contact with water
  • Store well away from amines, ammonia, alcohols, strong bases and oxidisers
  • Bund storage and prevent release to drains, soil and waterways
  • Confirm the transport classification on the SDS before despatch

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from buyers specifying DIPITPB for diafenthiuron manufacture and thiourea chemistry.

What is Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene used for?

DIPITPB is used above all as the final intermediate in diafenthiuron manufacture, where tert-butylamine adds across the isothiocyanate group to give the thiourea insecticide and acaricide. It is also used more generally to make substituted thioureas, thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates, and the heterocycles built from them.

What is the CAS number of DIPITPB?

The CAS number is 80058-93-1 and the molecular formula is C19H21NOS, with a molecular weight of 311.44 g/mol. It is also listed as 2,6-diisopropyl-4-phenoxyphenyl isothiocyanate, 1,3-diisopropyl-2-isothiocyanato-5-phenoxybenzene, or DIPPI.

How is DIPITPB made?

It is made from 2,6-diisopropyl-4-phenoxyaniline by thiophosgenation — reaction with thiophosgene or a thiophosgene equivalent in the presence of a base — which converts the primary aromatic amine into the isothiocyanate. The product is then purified by distillation under high vacuum.

How is diafenthiuron made from DIPITPB?

In a single step. tert-Butylamine adds across the N=C=S group to give 1-tert-butyl-3-(2,6-diisopropyl-4-phenoxyphenyl)thiourea, which is diafenthiuron. Because the step is clean and high-yielding, the purity of the isothiocyanate largely determines the purity of the finished active.

Is Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene hazardous?

Yes. It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled, causes serious eye damage and skin irritation, may cause an allergic skin reaction, and its vapour is a lachrymator. It is also harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Use closed transfer or local exhaust ventilation and full PPE; we supply a full MSDS with every order.

How should DIPITPB be stored?

In sealed drums under a nitrogen blanket in a cool, dry, well-ventilated store, protected from light and moisture and kept well away from amines, ammonia, alcohols, strong bases and oxidisers. Moisture hydrolyses the isothiocyanate, so containers should be resealed and re-inerted promptly after use.

Do you provide COA and MSDS for DIPITPB?

Yes, we provide a batch-specific COA and MSDS with every order, plus technical support on request.

Do you supply and export Diisopropyl Isothiocyanato Phenoxybenzene?

Yes, we supply DIPITPB across India and export internationally with complete documentation, sourced from reliable manufacturers.
