• Synonyms: 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzeneacetic acidMesitylacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4,6-Trimethylphenylacetic acid is a sterically demanding compound that interacts with metal ions in wastewater to produce ester compounds. The oxidation of 2,4,6-trimethylphenylacetic acid has been shown to produce reactive oxygen species and carbonyl groups. This process can then be catalyzed by an acid catalyst to generate the degenerative disease metabolites 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethylphenol and 3-methyl-2H-pyridinium chloride. The structural formula for 2,4,6-trimethylphenylacetic acid is C9H18O3.The wastewater treatment process involves the use of activated sludge to remove organic pollutants from wastewater through biological oxidation using oxygen from air or dissolved in water.
