3-Methylbiphenyl

Description:

3-Methylbiphenyl, with the CAS number 643-93-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the biphenyl family, characterized by the presence of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The "3-methyl" designation indicates that a methyl group (-CH₃) is attached to the third position of one of the phenyl rings. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. It has a moderate boiling point and melting point, typical of aromatic compounds, and exhibits a distinct aromatic odor. 3-Methylbiphenyl is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. It is also studied for its potential applications in materials science and as a solvent. As with many aromatic compounds, it is important to handle 3-methylbiphenyl with care due to its potential health effects, including skin and respiratory irritation.

3-Methylbiphenyl

CAS: 643-93-6

3-Methylbiphenyl is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor that is soluble in organic solvents. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that can be used as a carbon source for the synthesis of other chemicals. 3-Methylbiphenyl has been shown to inhibit the growth of Pseudomonas strains, including P. aeruginosa, and also inhibits nitrogenase activity in rhizosphere soil samples. This compound has two different isomers: 2-methylbiphenyl and 4-methylbiphenyl. The functional theory predicts that the ethyl group on 3-methylbiphenyl will react more quickly than the methyl proton because it has one additional electron pair than the methyl proton and thus an increased electron density around it.
