CAS 87-85-4: Benzene, hexamethyl-

Description: Benzene, hexamethyl- (CAS 87-85-4), also known as hexamethylbenzene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by a benzene ring with six methyl groups attached to it. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its sweet, aromatic odor. Hexamethylbenzene is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. It has a relatively high boiling point compared to simpler hydrocarbons due to the presence of multiple methyl groups, which increase molecular weight and influence intermolecular interactions. The compound is stable under normal conditions but can undergo reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Hexamethylbenzene is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a reference compound in various chemical analyses. Its structure and properties make it a subject of interest in studies related to molecular symmetry and the behavior of substituted aromatic systems. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
