CAS 1706-11-2: 2-Methoxy-1,4-dimethylbenzene

Description: 2-Methoxy-1,4-dimethylbenzene, also known as 2-methoxy-p-xylene, is an aromatic compound characterized by a methoxy group (-OCH3) and two methyl groups (-CH3) attached to a benzene ring. The methoxy group is positioned at the second carbon, while the methyl groups are located at the first and fourth carbons of the benzene ring, giving it a symmetrical structure. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the aromatic structure. 2-Methoxy-1,4-dimethylbenzene is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical properties include stability under normal conditions, but it may undergo reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas.
