TERTIARY AMYL BENZENE (TAB), CAS 2049-95-8

General Information and Properties

CAS No: 2049-95-8

Molecular formula: C11H16

Tertiary Amyl Benzene or TAB (CAS 2049-95-8) is a clear aromatic flammable liquid. Its formula is C11H16 and has a molecular weight of 148.25 g/mol. The synonyms for TAB are (1,1-Dimethylpropyl)benzene and 2-Methyl-2-phenylbutane. Tertiary Amyl Benzene is a key ingredient in the production of hydrogen peroxide (H202) and it is also used as a part of electrolyte in Lithium-ion batteries.

Vinati Organics Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading companies to provide top quality tertiary amyl benzene with the highest purity.

Physical and Chemical Properties:

Solubility: Insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol and ether

Synonyms: (1,1-Dimethylpropyl)benzene, 2-Methyl-2-phenylbutane

How Is it Manufactured?

Tertiary Amyl Benzene is manufactured from amyl alcohol and hydrochloric acid. When these two chemicals are mixed, the temperature of the mixture increases rapidly and it produces tertiary amyl chloride. Then tertiary amyl chloride is mixed with methyl benzene to yield tertiary amyl benzene.

Industry Applications

• Tertiary Amyl Benzene (TAB) is a vital intermediary chemical for the production of hydrogen peroxide (H202). It helps in the production of 2-Amyl-anthraquinone (AAQ) which is used in hydrogen peroxide production.
• As it is a crucial component of electrolyte of Lithium-ion batteries, TAB prevents the overheating of these batteries, helping in eliminating the dangers of fire and explosion.
• Tertiary Amyl Benzene (TAB) has a high oxidation initiation charge so it doesn’t react too early, thereby protecting the batteries from overcharging. Due to these properties, TAB is widely used in batteries for smartphone devices and small electronic devices.
• Its role is also becoming integral in the electric vehicle manufacturing industry. TAB is used as a solvent as well for many chemical processes.
• TAB is a key chemical component for the synthesis of an API that has antifungal properties and is used in numerous pharmaceutical synthesis processes.
