|Section2= |Section3= }} ''p''-Cymene is a naturally occurring aromatic organic compound. It is classified as an alkylbenzene related to a monoterpene. Its structure consists of a benzene ring ''para''-substituted with a methyl group and an isopropyl group. There are two less common geometric isomers. ''o''-Cymene, in which the alkyl groups are ''ortho''-substituted, and ''m''-cymene, in which they are ''meta''-substituted. ''p''-Cymene is the only natural isomer. All three isomers form the group of cymenes. ''p''-Cymene is insoluble in water, but miscible with ethanol and diethyl ether. It is a constituent of a number of essential oils, most commonly the oil of cumin and thyme. Significant amounts are formed in sulfite pulping process from the wood terpenes. ''p''-Cymene is a common ligand for ruthenium. The parent compound is ()2. This half-sandwich compound is prepared by the reaction of ruthenium trichloride with the terpene α-phellandrene. The osmium complex is also known. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「P-Cymene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
