Ethylbenzene

Description:
Ethylbenzene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H10, classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, resembling that of gasoline. Ethylbenzene is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of styrene, which is a precursor for various plastics and synthetic rubber. The compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various industrial applications. Ethylbenzene has a relatively low boiling point and a moderate vapor pressure, which contributes to its volatility. It is also known to be toxic and can pose health risks upon inhalation or prolonged exposure, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues. Due to its potential environmental impact, ethylbenzene is subject to regulation in many countries. Its chemical structure features a benzene ring with an ethyl group attached, which contributes to its reactivity and behavior in chemical reactions, particularly in electrophilic substitution processes.
