Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.
2. Pack in iron drums lined with plastic bags, store in a ventilated, dry place, moisture-proof, sun-proof, and away from fire sources. Store and transport according to regulations on toxic chemicals.
Synthesis method
In industry, tetramethylbenzene has been produced from C9-C10 aromatic hydrocarbon fractions by distillation to remove naphthalene, then frozen (-70°C) and recrystallized. But the cost is higher. Nowadays, it is produced by synthetic method. For example, m-xylene is used as raw material, anhydrous aluminum trichloride is added, methyl chloride is introduced at 100°C for reaction, then left to stand and cooled, the upper dark green oily substance is separated, and after drying, Distill under normal pressure and collect the 180-205°C fraction. In addition, there are methods to produce tetramethylbenzene by isomerization, alkylation, conversion alkylation, disproportionation-isomerization of xylene and trimylene.
Purpose
Used in organic synthesis, plasticizer, and preparation of pyromellitic dianhydride. Used as reagent and raw material of pyromellitic acid.
