Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NamePentamethylbenzene
DescriptionPentamethylbenzene or 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylbenzene, 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. Pentamethylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H(CH3)5. Structurally, pentamethylbenzene is a benzene in which five of the hydrogens are replaced by methyl groups. Pentamethylbenzene is a colorless solid under normal temperature and pressure conditions. It has a sweet odour. It is electron rich and is readily oxidized, easily undergoing electrophilic substitutions. Pentamethylbenzene has been observed as an intermediate in the formation of hexamethylbenzene from phenol ( Ref:DOI ) and alkylation of durene or pentamethylbenzene has been reported as a suitable starting material for the synthesis of hexamethylbenzene (DOI: 10.15227/orgsyn.010.0032). Pentamethylbenzene has been reported as a volatile compound detected in cannabis samples obtained through police seizures (PMID: 26657499 ).
