Properties and stability
1. Avoid contact with strong oxidants. 2. Oxidation produces p-toluic acid, p-methylacetophenone, p-isopropylbenzoic acid and terephthalic acid. Oxidation with alkaline potassium permanganate produces p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Hydrogenation produces para-alkanes. Heating and cracking produces benzene, toluene, naphthalene, anthracene, etc. Treatment with aluminum trichloride produces diisopropylbenzene, toluene, xylene and 1-methyl-3,5-diisopropylbenzene. Carvacrol (2-methyl-5-isopropylphenol), thymol (5-methyl-2-isopropylphenol), and menthol are synthesized through halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation reactions. 3. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, chloroform and other organic solvents. The boiling point is similar to that of turpentine, but its solubility is greater than that of turpentine. Can dissolve grease, resin, rubber, etc. It will change color after being left for a long time and is non-corrosive to metals. However, it has a rapid effect on rubber, so avoid using it in valves and gaskets. In case of fire, use foam fire extinguishing agent, carbon dioxide, dry chemical fire extinguishing agent, carbon tetrachloride, etc. to extinguish the fire. 4. Found in flue-cured tobacco leaves.
Storage method
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. should be kept away from oxidizer, do not store together. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials. It should be stored in a cool place away from light and sealed. Can be stored in iron, mild steel, copper or aluminum containers.
Synthesis method
1. Obtained from the reaction of camphor and phosphorus pentoxide through nitrification. First, heat powdered camphor and phosphorus pentoxide at 176°C for 12 hours to dehydrogenate to generate isopropyl-p-toluene. After acid and alkali refining and vacuum distillation, the finished product was obtained with a yield of 37%.
2. It is formed by dehydrogenating d-limonene or dipentene.
Purpose
Used for organic synthesis and preparation of paint thinners. As raw material for organic synthesis. Mixtures with ethanol, butanol, and acetone are solvents and thinners for paints, varnishes, nitrocellulose sprays, greases, and resins.
