Musk Xylene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

By tert-butane chloride in the presence of aluminum trichloride and m-xylene reaction to generate 1, 3-dimethyl-5-tert-butylbenzene, and then concentrated nitrate obtained.

Uses

Musk Xylene is a synthetic nitro musk. Musk Xylene is used in fragrances and soap to mimic natural musk. Studies suggest that formation of Xylene Musk adducts of rainbow trout Hb can be potentially used as biomarker of exposure.
