2,6-DIMETHYLPHENOL (2,6-Xylenol) is a fine chemical product from the brand RESEARCH-LAB FINE CHEM INDUSTRIES. Molecular Formula: (CH3)2C6H3OH CAS Number: 576-26-1 Molecular Weight: 122.16Quantity: 500 gm/BottleMelting point: 43-45 C(lit.)2,6-Xylenol is a monomer of poly(p-phenylene oxide) engineering resins through the carbon-oxygen oxidative coupling. Carbon-to-carbon dimerization is also possible. In one study 2,6-xylenol is oxidized with iodosobenzene diacetate with a fivefold excess of the phenol.
