1,4-dimethyl-2,5-di(propan-2-yl)benzene

Description:

1,4-Dimethyl-2,5-di(propan-2-yl)benzene, also known by its CAS number 10375-96-9, is an organic compound characterized by its complex structure featuring a benzene ring substituted with two isopropyl groups and two methyl groups. This compound belongs to the class of alkyl-substituted benzenes, which are known for their hydrophobic properties and relatively low polarity. The presence of multiple alkyl groups contributes to its higher boiling point and melting point compared to simpler aromatic compounds. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The compound may exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Its applications may include use as a solvent, in organic synthesis, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
