Abstract

Petroleum- and coal-derived heavy gasoline fractions with a boiling range of around 160 to 220 °C contain polymethylated benzenes, such as trimethylbenzenes (pseudocumene, mesitylene and hemimellitene), together with the tetramethylated benzenes durene, isodurene and prehnitene. Indane and indene compounds, penta- and hexamethylbenzene and cumene, are also present in these heavy gasoline fraction. (Cumene is predominantly converted to phenol as described in Chapter 5.2).
