Description:1,3-Diethylbenzene, with the CAS number 141-93-5, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a benzene ring substituted with two ethyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a sweet, aromatic odor typical of many alkylated benzenes. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The molecular formula of 1,3-Diethylbenzene is C10H14, and it has a molecular weight that places it among the lighter aromatic compounds. Its boiling point is higher than that of benzene due to the increased molecular weight and the presence of the ethyl groups, which also contribute to its reactivity. 1,3-Diethylbenzene can undergo typical electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures in laboratory and industrial settings.
