3-ethyltoluene, also known as m-ethyltoluene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C9H12. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. 3-ethyltoluene is a common constituent of petroleum and is often used as a solvent and intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It is also studied as a potential fuel additive due to its high energy content. 3-ethyltoluene can be synthesized through various methods, including the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of toluene with ethyl chloride. Its effects on human health are not well-studied, but it is generally considered to be relatively non-toxic. However, prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to skin and eye irritation. 3-ethyltoluene is an important compound in the chemical industry due to its versatility and its use in various applications, such as the production of polymers, resins, and other organic compounds.'
