Pentamethylbenzene synthesis
- Product Name:Pentamethylbenzene
- CAS Number:700-12-9
- Molecular formula:C11H16

Yield:464-06-2 16.7%
Reaction Conditions:
with isopropyl alcohol;indium (III) iodide at 200; for 2 - 3 h;
Steps:
39a; 39c
Mixtures of InI3 and methanol, in molar ratios varying from 1 :2 to 1 :4, along with a initiator (typically 2.5 mol% /-propanol) were heated in a closed vessel at 200 0C. Approximately two hours are required for complete conversion of methanol/DME to hydrocarbons and water. Increasing the relative amount of methanol inhibits reaction: at a molar ratio of 1 :5 only traces of triptane form under the above conditions. However, more than 5 equivalents of methanol per In can be converted as follows: 1 -2
