1,2,3,4-Tetramethylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon used as a molecular marker for photosynthetic sulfur bacteria in ancient sedimentary environments, indicating static marine conditions. It also functions as a pharmaceutical intermediate. In vitro, it exhibits unique regioselectivity with F-TEDA-BF4 (Selectfluor), where water molecules attack unsubstituted sites on its benzene ring, forming a phenol intermediate.
