*** Benzene is a carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). *** Very flammable. The pure material, and any solutions containing it, constitute a fire risk. Safe handling: Benzene should NOT be used at all unless no safer alternatives are available. If benzene must be used in an experiment, it should be handled at all stages in a fume cupboard.
1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, also known as pseudocumene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 3 (CH 3) 3.Classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon, it is a flammable colorless liquid with a strong odor.
1,4-Bis(trichloromethyl)benzene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CCl 3) 2. A white solid, it is prepared industrially by chlorination of para-xylene. It reacts with terephthalic acid to give terephthaloyl chloride, a precursor to Kevlar. [1] It also reacts with sulfur dioxide to give the same acid chloride and thionyl chloride. [2]
Benzene is a natural constituent of petroleum and is one of the elementary petrochemicals. Due to the cyclic continuous pi bonds between the carbon atoms, benzene is classed as an aromatic hydrocarbon. Benzene is a colorless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell, and is partially responsible for the aroma of gasoline.
Ethylbenzene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 3.It is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of gasoline.This monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is important in the petrochemical industry as a reaction intermediate in the production of styrene, the precursor to polystyrene, a common plastic material.
Trichlorobenzene (TCB) may refer to any of three isomeric chlorinated derivatives of benzene with the molecular formula C 6 H 3 Cl 3. They differ by the positions of the chlorine atoms around the ring: 1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene; 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene; 1,3,5-Trichlorobenzene
The C 3-benzenes are a class of organic aromatic compounds which contain a benzene ring and three other carbon atoms. For the hydrocarbons with no further unsaturation, there are four isomers. The chemical formula for all the saturated isomers is C 9 H 12 .
Diethylbenzenes arise as side-products of the alkylation of benzene with ethylene, which can be described as two steps. The first step is the industrial route to ethylbenzene, which is produced on a large scale as a precursor to styrene. C 6 H 6 + C 2 H 4 → C 6 H 5 C 2 H 5. The diethylbenzene is an inadvertent side product. C 6 H 5 C 2 H 5 ...
