Common NamePrehnitene
Description1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene also known as Prehnitene or prehnitol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Prehnitene is possibly neutral. A tetramethylbenzene that consists of benzene substituted by methyl groups at positions 1, 2, 3 and 4. It is classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H2(CH3)4. It is a flammable colorless liquid which is nearly insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It occurs naturally in coal tar. Prehnitene is one of three isomers of tetramethylbenzene, the other two being isodurine (1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene) and durene (1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene). Industrially, prehnitene can be isolated from the reformed fraction of oil refineries. It may also be produced by methylation of toluene, xylenes and the trimethylbenzenes hemellitene and pseudocumene (doi:10.1002/14356007.a13_227). 1,2,3,4-tetramethylbenzene has been detected as a volatile component of cannabis (PMID: 26657499 ) and, as such, it can also be detected as constituent of marijuana smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
