2,4,6-Trimethoxy-m-xylene

CAS: 1521-61-5

2,4,6-Trimethoxy-m-xylene is a methylated aromatic hydrocarbon that can be found in coal tar and oil. It is a stable compound that can be protonated by superacids such as arenium ion (H2SO4). The protonation of 2,4,6-trimethoxy-m-xylene leads to the formation of carbocations, which are electron deficient species. This radical cation has a resonance structure with three double bonds between carbon atoms. The resonance structure of the radical cation is stabilized by hyperconjugative interactions between the electron pair on oxygen and the empty p orbital on carbon.
