Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Namep-Ethyltoluene
Description4-Ethyltoluene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as toluenes. Toluenes are compounds containing a benzene ring which bears a methyl group. 4-Ethyltoluene is one of three isomers of ethyltoluene, the other two isomers being 3-Ethyltoluene and 2-Ethyltoluene. Ethyltoluene is produced by ethylation of toluene Over typical acid catalysts, this process gives a mixture of the 2-, 3-, and 4- isomers. Using a modified zeolite catalyst, the alkylation is shape-selective for the 4- isomer. All isomers are colorless liquids and all are used for the production of specialty polystyrenes. 4-Ethyltoluene is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4C2H5. 4-Ethyltoluene is subjected dehydrogenation to give 4-vinyltoluene. 4-Ethyltoluene is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis and it can be found in cannabis smoke.
