What does CYMOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A variant spelling of cymene, an aromatic hydrocarbon found in oils such as cumin and thyme.
Cymol, more commonly spelled cymene, is a colourless liquid hydrocarbon built from a benzene ring with a methyl group and an isopropyl group attached, giving it a mild, pleasant smell. It occurs naturally in the essential oils of plants such as cumin, thyme and eucalyptus, and chemists also produce cymol synthetically for use as a solvent and in the manufacture of other compounds. The older spelling cymol appears mainly in nineteenth century chemistry texts, while cymene is the standard modern form. Both names refer to the same compound and the same chemical formula.
