1,3,5-Trimethoxybenzene

1,3,5-Trimethoxybenzene (TRIMETHYL PHLOROGLUCINOL) is an electrophilic substitution reaction substrate targeting free chlorine (Cl+) and free bromine (Br+) . 1,3,5-Trimethoxybenzene has highly selective electrophilic addition characteristics. By capturing halogens, it undergoes specific substitution reactions to generate stable halogenated products. 1,3,5-Trimethoxybenzene can not only quench residual oxidants, but also quantify the halogen concentration by detecting the product without affecting the stability of redox-sensitive disinfection byproducts (DBPs) . 1,3,5-Trimethoxybenzene is mainly used in water quality testing and quantitative analysis of free chlorine/bromine in water. At the same time, in phytochemistry, it is a key component of rose fragrance and participates in the study of pollination attraction mechanism[1][2].
