1.2 mL/L (20% v/v) [7] ... as well as benzene's 1:1 carbon-hydrogen ratio. ... After exposure to 63 to 405 mg/m 3 of benzene for 1 to 5 hours, 51 to 87% was excreted ...
The p-stands for para-, indicating that the two methyl groups in p-xylene occupy the diametrically opposite substituent positions 1 and 4. It is in the positions of the two methyl groups, their arene substitution pattern, that it differs from the other isomers, o-xylene and m-xylene. All have the same chemical formula C 6 H 4 (CH 3) 2. All ...
[28] [29] [30] Because the methyl group has greater electron-releasing properties than a hydrogen atom in the same position, toluene is more reactive than benzene toward electrophiles. It undergoes sulfonation to give p-toluenesulfonic acid, and chlorination by Cl 2 in the presence of FeCl 3 to give ortho and para isomers of chlorotoluene.
Ethylbenzene is produced on a large scale by combining benzene and ethene in an acid-catalyzed chemical reaction: C 6 H 6 + C 2 H 4 → C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 3. In 2012, more than 99% of ethylbenzene was produced in this way. [citation needed] Small amounts of ethylbenzene are recovered from the mix of xylenes by superfractioning, an extension of the ...
The density of each isomer is around 0.87 g/mL (7.3 lb/US gal; 8.7 lb/imp gal) and thus is less dense than water. The odor of xylene is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 to 3.7 ppm (parts of xylene per million parts of air) and can be tasted in water at 0.53 to 1.8 ppm.
Heteroarenes are aromatic compounds, where at least one methine or vinylene (-C= or -CH=CH-) group is replaced by a heteroatom: oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. [3] Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one ...
The properties of deuterated benzene are very similar to those of normal benzene, however, the increased atomic weight of deuterium relative to protium means that the melting point of C 6 D 6 is about 1.3 °C higher than that of the nondeuterated analogue. The boiling points of both compounds, however, are the same: 80 °C.
Mesitylene or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene is a derivative of benzene with three methyl substituents positioned symmetrically around the ring. The other two isomeric trimethylbenzenes are 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (pseudocumene) and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (hemimellitene). All three compounds have the formula C 6 H 3 (CH 3) 3, which is commonly ...
