1-TERT-BUTYL-2-METHYLBENZENE

Description:
1-Tert-butyl-2-methylbenzene, also known as pseudocumene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by its branched alkyl substituents on a benzene ring. It features a tert-butyl group and a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the benzene ring, resulting in a complex structure that influences its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It has a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. The presence of the bulky tert-butyl group contributes to its steric hindrance, affecting its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Additionally, 1-tert-butyl-2-methylbenzene is considered to have low toxicity, but like many aromatic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential environmental and health impacts. Its chemical stability and non-polar nature make it suitable for use in non-polar solvent systems.
