1,2,3,4-Tetramethylbenzene

Description:
1,2,3,4-Tetramethylbenzene, also known as pseudocumene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a benzene ring substituted with four methyl groups at the 1, 2, 3, and 4 positions. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive sweet odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various industrial applications. The presence of multiple methyl groups enhances its volatility and lowers its melting and boiling points compared to benzene. 1,2,3,4-Tetramethylbenzene is primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is also found in some fuel formulations and can be a component of certain types of paints and coatings. While it is generally considered to have low toxicity, exposure should still be managed to avoid potential health risks. Its chemical formula is C10H14, and it is classified under the category of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are of interest due to their environmental and health implications.
