Chemistry:Diisopropylbenzenes

From HandWiki
Short description: Hydrocarbon compound; benzene ring with two isopropyl groups

In organic chemistry, the diisopropylbenzenes constitute a group of aromatic hydrocarbons, whose chemical structure consists of a benzene ring (C
6
H
6
) with two isopropyl groups (–CH(CH
3
)
2
) as substituents. Through their different arrangement, they form three structural isomers with the molecular formula C
