These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. The compound is classified as an alkylbenzene. It is one of three isomers of tetramethylbenzene, the other two being prehnitene (1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene) and isodurene (1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene). Durene has an unusually high melting point (79.2 °C), reflecting its high molecular symmetry. It is a component of coal tar and was first prepared from pseudocumene in 1870. It is produced by methylation of other methylated benzene compounds such as p-xylene and pseudocumene (DOI: 10.15227/orgsyn.010.0032). Durene is a colourless solid with a sweet odor. It is also a sweet and rancid tasting compound. Durene has been detected, but not quantified, in sweet cherries.C10H14134.222134.1095504511,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzenedurene95-93-2CC1=CC(C)=C(C)C=C1CInChI=1S/C10H14/c1-7-5-9(3)10(4)6-8(7)2/h5-6H,1-4H3SQNZJJAZBFDUTD-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives.
