Application

Cumene (Isopropylbenzene) can be used in the synthesis of:
  • Diisopropylbenzenes via disproportionation reaction by zeolite catalysts.
  • Cumene hydroperoxide, a key precursor for many organic fine chemicals.
  • 4-Nitro cumene using nitric acid/ MoO3/SiO2 as a catalyst.

In the present study, we investigated the influence of diazepam (DZP) on the excretion of TOL by examining their urinary metabolites, hippuric acid (HA) and ortho-cresol (o-C). Male Wistar rats were exposed to TOL (20ppm) in a nose-only exposure chamber
