Methylstyrenes (also known as methylstyrenes, vinyltoluenes or methylvinylbenzenes) form a group of substances derived from both styrene and toluene. The structure consists of a benzene ring with an added ethene (-CH=CH2) and a methyl group (-CH3) as substituents. Their different arrangement results in several constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C9H10. Methylsterenes are mainly to be regarded as methyl-substituted styrenes.
