1-methyl-3,5-di(propan-2-yl)benzene

Description:
1-Methyl-3,5-di(propan-2-yl)benzene, also known as pseudocumene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by its three isopropyl groups attached to a benzene ring. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its distinctive sweet odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various industrial applications. Pseudocumene is primarily utilized as a solvent and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, including resins and plastics. Its chemical structure contributes to its relatively low reactivity, although it can undergo typical aromatic reactions such as electrophilic substitution. The compound has a moderate boiling point and a low vapor pressure, indicating that it can exist as a liquid under standard conditions. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and inhalation of vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Overall, pseudocumene is an important compound in organic chemistry and industrial applications.
