Mesitylene can be obtained from acetone through a multistep process involving reactions such as aldol condensation and dehydration. First, acetone is treated with a base to form mesityl oxide, which is then hydrogenated to yield mesitylene. This process typically requires specific catalysts and conditions to ensure high yield and purity of mesitylene.
