1,3-Diisopropylbenzene

1,3-Diisopropylbenzene is the aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H4(CHMe2)2 (Me = CH3). 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.[1]
