Mesitylene from allylene

Mesitylene from Allylene.— In a similar way methyl acetylene or allylene polymerizes and yields mesitylene which is tri-methyl benzene. 

Synthesis of Mesitylene from Allylene.—The second proof of the symmetrical structure of mesitylene is its synthesis from allylene and also from acetone. The synthesis from allylene has already been spoken of in connection with the proofs of the structure of benzene (p. 478), and is exactly analogous to the synthesis of benzene by the polymerization of acetylene.
