Mesitylene Market Segmentation, Opportunities, Trends & Future Scope to 2025

Mesitylene or 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene is a derivative of benzene with three methyl substituents positioned symmetrically around the benzene ring. Mesitylene is a colorless liquid, insoluble in water with a sweet aromatic odor and is prepared by methyl alkylation of xylene over solid acid catalyst. The traditional source of mesitylene is coal tar. The three aromatic hydrogen atoms of mesitylene are in identical chemical shift environments. Therefore, these three atoms only give a single peak at 6.8 ppm. Mesitylene is thus, used as an internal standard in NMR samples that contain aromatic protons.
