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 an ingredient of electrolyte in Lithium-ion batteries to prevent over-voltage.

Physical and Chemical Properties:

Solubility: Insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol and ether

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

Industry Applications

• Tertiary Amyl Benzene (TAB) is a vital intermediate chemical for the production of 2-amyl anthraquinone (2-AAQ), which is used as a catalyst for mass production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).
• Tertiary Amyl Benzene is a crucial component of the electrolytes in Lithium-ion batteries. TAB prevents the overcharging in these batteries, thereby helping to eliminate the dangers of fire and explosion associated with over charging.
• TAB is a key chemical component for the synthesis of an API that has antifungal properties and is used in numerous pharmaceutical synthesis processes.
