Amylbenzene is a colorless liquid with a slight odor. It is miscible with ether, acetone and benzene, insoluble in water and soluble in ethanol. It can be used as a chromatographic analysis reagent.

Chemical Properties

clear colourless liquid

Uses

Pentylbenzene can be eluted using the bisphenol A dimethacrylate (BADMA) monolithic column.

Uses

Intermediates of Liquid Crystals

Definition

ChEBI: Pentylbenzene is a member of benzenes.
