Meta cresols are aromatic compounds containing a meta-cresol moiety, which consists of a benzene ring bearing a methyl group and a hydroxyl group at ring positions 1 and 3, respectively. 3,5-dimethylphenol is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3,5-dimethylphenol can be synthesized from m-xylene. 3,5-dimethylphenol can also be synthesized into 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol and XMC. 3,5-dimethylphenol can be found in tamarind, which makes 3,5-dimethylphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 1-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzene 1,3-Dimethyl-5-hydroxybenzene 1,3,5-Xylenol 1,5-Dimethyl-3-hyperoxybenzene 3,5-DIMETHYL PHENOL 3,5-Xylen-1-ol 3,5-Xylenol 4-Chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol 5-Hydroxy-m-xylene Benzene, 1,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxy- Chloroxylenol Phenol, 3,5-dimethyl- SYM-m-xylenol SYM.-m-xylenol Xylenol 200 C8H10O 122.1644 122.073164942 3,5-dimethylphenol 3,5-dimethylphenol 108-68-9 CC1=CC(O)=CC(C)=C1 InChI=1S/C8H10O/c1-6-3-7(2)5-8(9)4-6/h3-5,9H,1-2H3 TUAMRELNJMMDMT-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as meta cresols.
