Description and Uses
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene (mesitylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound commonly present in commercial solvents encompassing their boiling range. Mesitylene are the most common isomer used in commercial applications. Aromatic hydrocarbons in hydrocarbon solvents are predominantly alkylated one ring structures as well as two aromatic ring structures which may also be alkylated.
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene is the unlabelled version of 1,2,4-Trimethyl 13C6-benzene (T796173), a labelled aromatic standard.
