1-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzene

Description:
1-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-2-methoxy-4-methylbenzene, commonly known as p-cymene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by its distinct structure featuring a methoxy group and a tert-butyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, aromatic odor, often associated with the scent of citrus. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. p-Cymene is known for its use in the fragrance industry, as well as in the production of various chemicals and as a solvent in organic synthesis. Its chemical properties include a relatively low boiling point and a moderate vapor pressure, making it volatile under standard conditions. Additionally, p-cymene exhibits antimicrobial properties, which has led to its exploration in various applications, including food preservation and as a potential therapeutic agent. Safety considerations include its flammability and the need for proper handling to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
