Mesitylene or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene is a derivative of benzene with three methyl substituents symmetrically placed on the ring.
M 1775 (OTTO) Mesitylene, 98% Cas 108-67-8 - used to make plastics and dyes. It acts as a solvent, ligand in organometallic chemistry and precursor to 2,4,6-trimethylaniline. M 1775 (OTTO) Mesitylene, 98% Cas 108-67-8 - used as a developer for photopatternable silicones due to its solvent properties in the electronics industry. M 1775 (OTTO) Mesitylene, 98% Cas 108-67-8 - used as an internal standard in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) samples due to the presence of three equivalent protons in it. It is involved in the production of trimesic acid and antioxygen, epoxy firming agent and polyester resin stabilizers.
