pethylmethylbenzene
Pethylmethylbenzene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H12. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon, specifically a substituted toluene. The structure consists of a benzene ring with a methyl group and an ethyl group attached. There are three possible positional isomers for pethylmethylbenzene, depending on the relative positions of the methyl and ethyl groups on the benzene ring: ortho-ethyltoluene, meta-ethyltoluene, and para-ethyltoluene. These isomers have different physical and chemical properties due to the varying spatial arrangement of the substituent groups.
Ortho-ethyltoluene, also known as 1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene, has the ethyl and methyl groups adjacent to each other on
Pethylmethylbenzenes are generally produced through alkylation reactions of toluene or ethylbenzene. They find applications as solvents,
