alpha,2-dimethylstyrene

Description:

Alpha,2-dimethylstyrene is an organic compound classified as a substituted styrene, characterized by the presence of two methyl groups attached to the alpha and beta positions of the styrene backbone. Its molecular formula is C10H12, and it features a vinyl group (–CH=CH2) directly bonded to a phenyl ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in polymerization processes, where it can undergo addition reactions to form various polymers and copolymers. Alpha,2-dimethylstyrene is used in the production of specialty plastics and resins, and it may also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound is relatively stable under standard conditions but should be handled with care due to its potential to polymerize upon exposure to heat or light. Safety precautions are necessary, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
