Benzene, 1-(1-methylethyl)-3-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)- (9CI)

Description:

Benzene, 1-(1-methylethyl)-3-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 122499-01-8, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with two distinct alkyl groups. The first substituent is an isopropyl group (1-methylethyl), while the second is a propenyl group (2-methyl-2-propenyl), which introduces a double bond into the structure. This compound is part of the class of aromatic hydrocarbons, known for their stability and unique reactivity due to the delocalized π-electrons in the benzene ring. It is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic sweet odor and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the double bond in the propenyl group can make it reactive under certain conditions, allowing for potential participation in addition reactions. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. As with many aromatic compounds, it is important to handle this substance with care due to potential health hazards associated with exposure.
