2,3′-Bis(1-methylethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl

Description:

2,3′-Bis(1-methylethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl, also known by its CAS number 74338-25-3, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The compound features two isopropyl groups (1-methylethyl) attached to the biphenyl at the 2 and 3 positions, contributing to its hydrophobic nature and potentially influencing its physical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. This compound is of interest in various chemical applications, including as a potential additive in lubricants and as a component in organic synthesis. Its molecular structure suggests it may exhibit moderate thermal stability and low volatility. Additionally, due to the presence of bulky isopropyl groups, it may show unique steric effects that can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
