- Description
-
Ethyltoluenes are dialkyl-substituted monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons consisting of three isomers (para, meta, ortho). They are produced during reforming of petroleum naphtha. They are present in reformate along with benzene, toluene, xylenes and ethylbenzene. They are found in steam-cracking naphtha, and are typically present at 25-35% in C9 aromatic naphtha. Separation of ethyltoluenes from other C9 aromatics in naphtha reformate is difficult due to similar boiling points (150-165°C).
The three ethyltoluene isomers are as follows.
3. o-Ethyltoluene (2-ethyltoluene)
4. m-Ethyltoluene (3-ethyltoluene)
5. p-Ethyltoluene (4-ethyltoluene)Source: Perplexity A.I. search, 3rd Jan 2024, Various prompts related to 'Ethyltoluene'.
