A chemical compound, also known as isopropylbenzene or cumene, used in the production of phenol and acetone in industrial chemistry.
From 'cumene' via German chemical nomenclature; 'cumene' derives from the caraway seed (cumin), as the compound was originally isolated from caraway oil.
Cumol is one of those invisible industrial chemicals—it's used to make products in literally every household, but nobody knows its name because it's strictly a behind-the-scenes industrial compound.
