tetraethylbenzene - Introduction
tetraethylbenzene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H18. It is a colorless liquid, soluble in organic solvents, with a fragrance similar to benzene.
Tetraethylbenzene is mainly used as catalyst, solvent and perfume additive in organic synthesis reaction in industry. It can be used as a solvent for paints, dyes and rubber. In addition, tetraethylbenzene is also used as a raw material for synthesizing liquid crystal materials and organic light emitting diodes (OLED).
The common method for preparing tetraethylbenzene is the hydroxyalkylation reaction of diethylene and benzene in the presence of an Alane catalyst. This reaction replaces one of the hydrogen atoms in the benzene with an ethyl group to form tetraethylbenzene.
For safety information, tetraethylbenzene is a flammable liquid and irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. When using tetraethylbenzene, wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid skin contact and inhalation. At the same time, the use of tetraethylbenzene under open flame or high temperature should be avoided. If you come into contact with this substance, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help.
