1,4,5,8-Tetramethylnaphthalene is an organic compound belonging to the naphthalene family, characterized by the presence of four methyl groups attached to the naphthalene structure. Its molecular formula is C14H18, indicating a relatively high degree of saturation and a complex hydrocarbon framework. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature, exhibiting a melting point that reflects its crystalline nature. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 1,4,5,8-Tetramethylnaphthalene is known for its stability and resistance to oxidation, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activity and environmental impact, particularly in relation to its behavior as a pollutant. Safety data indicates that, like many hydrocarbons, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
