  3. Thermal rearrangement of aromatic hydrocarbons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_rearrangement_of...

    Benzene ring contractions are the last two mechanisms that have been suggested, and they are currently the preferred mechanisms. These reaction mechanisms proceed through the lowest free energy transition states compared to the diradical and dyotropic mechanisms. The difference between the two ring contractions is minute however, so it has not ...

  4. Valence isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_isomer

    Some were originally proposed for benzene itself before the actual structure of benzene was known. Others were later synthesized in lab. Some have been observed to isomerize to benzene, whereas others tend to undergo other reactions instead, or isomerize by ways other than pericyclic reactions. Some known valence isomers of benzene

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_reforming

    A side reaction is hydrogenolysis, which produces light hydrocarbons of lower value, such as methane, ethane, propane and butanes. Continuous Catalytic reforming (CCR) unit In addition to a gasoline blending stock, reformate is the main source of aromatic bulk chemicals such as benzene , toluene , xylene and ethylbenzene , which have diverse ...

  6. Ethylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylbenzene

    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.

  7. Buchner ring expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchner_ring_expansion

    The reaction mechanism of a Buchner ring expansion begins with carbene formation from ethyl-diazoacetate generated initially through photochemical or thermal reactions with extrusion of nitrogen. carbene mechanism. The generated carbene adds to one of the double bonds of benzene to form the cyclopropane ring. carbene insertion

  8. Transalkylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transalkylation

    The reaction is used for the transfer of methyl and ethyl groups between benzene rings. This is of particular value in the petrochemical industry [1] to manufacture p-xylene, styrene, [2] and other aromatic compounds. Motivation for using transalkylation reactions is based on a difference in production and demand for benzene, toluene, and xylenes.

  9. Enthalpy of vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization

    Temperature-dependency of the heats of vaporization for water, methanol, benzene, and acetone. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆H vap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.
