Description

4-Methylbiphenyl is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of biphenyls. It can be synthesized by reacting methanol with trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of hydrogen fluoride, or it can be extracted from coal tar. The reaction mechanism for this synthesis is similar to the reaction between benzene and nitric acid, which produces nitrobenzene and nitrous oxide as reaction products. 4-Methylbiphenyl has a high selectivity for diazonium salt formation and reacts with diphenyl ether to produce diphenyldiazonium chloride. This compound is soluble in solvents such as carbon disulfide, chloroform, benzene, acetone, ethanol, ethylene dichloride, ethylene glycol monomethylether acetate (EGMEA), dimethoxyethane (DME) and diethylether. 4-Methylbiphenyl
