Bis(1-methylethyl)benzene, also known as 1,1'-diisopropylbenzene, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with two isopropyl groups. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents. It exhibits a high boiling point compared to many other hydrocarbons due to the presence of bulky isopropyl groups, which also contribute to its steric hindrance. Bis(1-methylethyl)benzene is primarily used as a solvent and in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the production of specialty chemicals and polymers. Its chemical stability and resistance to oxidation make it suitable for applications in industrial processes. However, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care due to potential health hazards associated with inhalation or skin contact. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.

Diisopropylbenzene (DIB) is a thermodynamic data for benzene that is used as a catalyst in hydrogenation reactions. The reaction solution of DIB and hydrogen fluoride produces cumene, methyl ethyl ketone, and 1,2-dichloroethane. DIB has been shown to have clinical relevance in the treatment of congestive heart failure. It acts by inhibiting the reuptake of fatty acid and hydroxyl group in the cell membrane, which increases blood flow to the heart and reduces congestion. This drug also has an antiarrhythmic effect by blocking cation channels.
