α-Methylstyrene

Description:
α-Methylstyrene is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a vinyl group attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor. The compound is known for its low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. α-Methylstyrene has a relatively low boiling point and a moderate density compared to water. It is primarily used as a monomer in the production of various polymers and copolymers, particularly in the manufacturing of plastics and resins. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The substance is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact. Its reactivity includes participation in polymerization reactions, making it valuable in industrial applications. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with α-Methylstyrene to mitigate potential hazards.
