Description :

Overview of Mesitylene

Mesitylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely utilized as a solvent intermediate in chemical synthesis and for special industrial purposes. It's a transparent and flammable liquid that has a distinctive aroma and an extremely high chemical stability.

The mesitylene formula is C₉H₁₂, and the mesitylene structure consists of a benzene ring with three methyl groups at the 1, 3, and 5 positions, giving it unique steric and chemical properties. It is poorly soluble in water (mesitylene solubility in water is very low) but highly soluble in organic solvents. The mesitylene boiling point is approximately 164–165°C, making it suitable for high-temperature industrial processes.
