1,3-Diisopropylbenzene


1,3-Diisopropylbenzene is the aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H42. It is one of three isomeric diisopropylbenzenes. This colorless liquid is prepared by thermal isomerization of 1,4-diisopropylbenzene. It is the principal industrial precursor to resorcinol via the Hock rearrangement.
