CAS 100-18-5: 1,4-Diisopropylbenzene

1,4-Diisopropylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that can be used in the production of nylon. It is a reactive compound that reacts with hydrogen chloride to form 1,4-dichlorobenzene. It undergoes nucleophilic attack by the addition of hydrogen fluoride to produce a dihydrochloride salt. The reaction of 1,4-diisopropylbenzene with hydrochloric acid yields 1,2-dichlorobenzene and hydrogen chloride gas. The reaction mechanism for this chemical reaction is shown below: The activation energies for this chemical reaction are as follows: This chemical has been found to have an intramolecular hydrogen bond in its H NMR spectrum.
