1-Ethyl-2-methylbenzene

Description:
1-Ethyl-2-methylbenzene, also known as ethyl o-toluene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a benzene ring substituted with both an ethyl group and a methyl group. Its molecular formula is C10H12, indicating it consists of ten carbon atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively low boiling point, which makes it volatile. 1-Ethyl-2-methylbenzene is used in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical properties include reactivity typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution reactions. Safety considerations are important, as it can be flammable and may pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact. Proper handling and storage in well-ventilated areas are recommended to mitigate exposure risks.
