tert-Butylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that consists of a benzene ring with a tert-butyl group attached. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. tert-Butylbenzene is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, with applications in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other chemicals. Its synthesis typically involves Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with tert-butyl chloride or tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as aluminum chloride. tert-Butylbenzene is relatively unreactive but can be oxidized to tert-butylbenzoic acid. It is studied for its potential applications as a fuel additive and its role in environmental chemistry. For example, it is a component of gasoline and can be released into the atmosphere from vehicle emissions. Its effects on human health and the environment are being investigated.'
