1,3,5-Triisopropylbenzene is used as a fuel and fuel additive. It is also used in lubricants and lubricant additives. Further, it is used in the preparation of 2,4,6-triisopropyl-benzenesulfonyl chloride. It is also employed as a swelling agent during the synthesis of mesoporous silica with two-dimensional hexagonal pores. In addition to this, it is used as a micelle expander in the synthesis of magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
