iso-Butylbenzene（Cat No.:R063832）, also known as 2-phenylbutane, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C10H14. It consists of a benzene ring substituted with an isobutyl group, specifically a branched four-carbon chain. This colorless liquid has a characteristic aromatic odor and is insoluble in water but miscible with organic solvents. iso-Butylbenzene is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. It also serves as a starting material for producing cumene and related derivatives. Its stable aromatic structure makes it suitable for controlled functionalization in organic synthesis.
