1,2,3-Trimethylbenzene

Description :

1,2, 3-trimethylbenzene  , an organic compound with the formula C9H12, is used primarily as an analytical reagent.

Trimethylbenzene, also known as 1,3, 5-trimethylbenzene, is an organic compound.

Trimethylbenzene is a colorless liquid with a strong aromatic odor. Trimethylbenzene is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and benzene.

Trimethylbenzene is widely used in industry. It is an important organic solvent used to dissolve resins, coatings and dyes. Trimethylbenzene can also be used as an intermediate in flavors and synthetic chemicals.

The preparation of trimethylbenzene mainly involves the reaction of benzene and toluene under acidic conditions. Acidic catalysts such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, or aluminum chloride can be used. During the reaction, methyl groups will be added to positions 1, 3, and 5 of the benzene ring to form trimethylbenzene.

Safety information: trimethylbenzene is a flammable liquid, and its vapor is irritating and toxic. The working environment should be well ventilated to avoid steam inhalation. In case of contact with the substance, immediately wash the contaminated skin with water and seek medical attention.
