1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, also known as pseudocumene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 3 (CH 3) 3. Classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon, it is a flammable colorless liquid with a strong odor. It is nearly insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It occurs naturally in coal tar and petroleum (about 3%).
[1] [2] Through their different arrangement, they form three structural isomers with the molecular formula C 9 H 12. They also belong to the group of C 3 -benzenes . The best-known isomer is mesitylene .
There are three trimethylbenzenes, three ethylmetylbenzenes, and two propylbenzene isomers. 1980s American gasoline contained about 3-4% C 3-benzenes. [ 1 ] 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene or Hemellitene
Mesitylene or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene is a derivative of benzene with three methyl substituents positioned symmetrically around the ring. The other two isomeric trimethylbenzenes are 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (pseudocumene) and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (hemimellitene).
The compound is a colorless to white solid. It's primarily used in the production of various polymers, polyesters, agricultural chemicals and dyes. Several thousand tons of this compound are produced annually as a precursor to plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride. It is produced by air-oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. [1]
Trimellitic acid (benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 3 (СООН) 3. Like the other isomers of benzenetricarboxylic acid, trimellitic acid is a colorless solid. It is prepared by oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. [2]
1,2,3-Trimethylbenzene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 3 (CH 3) 3. Classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon, it is a flammable colorless liquid. It is nearly insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The compound occurs naturally in coal tar and petroleum. It is one of the three isomers of trimethylbenzene.
Techron is a patented fuel additive developed by Chevron Corporation and sold in its fuel operations (including Texaco and Caltex).It contains a polyether amine-based detergent, which is purported to dissolve deposits in automotive engines and prevent them from building up.
