m-Cymene

Description:
m-Cymene, also known as meta-cymene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C10H12. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, citrus-like odor, commonly found in essential oils such as thyme and cumin. m-Cymene is a member of the cymene family, which includes ortho- and para-cymene isomers. It has a boiling point of approximately 177°C and a melting point around -50°C, making it a liquid at room temperature. This compound is relatively non-polar, with a low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. m-Cymene is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemicals, and in the fragrance industry. It also exhibits antimicrobial properties, which have led to its exploration in food preservation and medicinal applications. However, like many aromatic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential health effects upon exposure.
