Have a pilot scale process that can be set up to make Mesitylene (1,3,5 trimethylbenzene), meta-diethylbenzene (1,3 diethylbenzene), or isodurene(tetramethylbenzene). Process makes these unique aromatic chemicals in high purity (>99%). Does anyone know of any high value / high volume use for these aromatics?
 
DougW,

Does your process produce each in greater than 99% purity?
 
Can make higher purity, but would require additional purification step. How much purity would be required to market these aromatics? I was impressed that the isomers were 99% meta coming off.
