C6H3OCH33

C6H3OCH33, more commonly known as 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H3(OCH3)3. It is a derivative of benzene where three methoxy groups (-OCH3) are attached to the aromatic ring. Specifically, the methoxy groups are located at the 1, 2, and 3 positions of the benzene ring. This arrangement of substituents gives it the systematic name 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its purity.

1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene is a naturally occurring compound found in some plants, though it can also be synthesized in a laboratory. Its synthesis typically involves the methylation of pyrogallol (1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene). It has been used as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of more complex molecules. Its applications have been explored in areas such as pharmaceuticals and fragrances, though it is not widely used in large-scale industrial processes. Its physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, are well-documented in chemical literature. Due to its aromatic nature and the presence of electron-donating methoxy groups, it can undergo various electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
