Benzene, ethenyl-

Description:
Benzene, ethenyl- (commonly known as styrene) is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which consists of a benzene ring bonded to an ethenyl group (vinyl group). It has a molecular formula of C8H8 and is a colorless, oily liquid with a sweet odor reminiscent of rubber. Styrene is known for its low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents, making it a versatile compound in various chemical processes. It is primarily used in the production of polystyrene, a widely used plastic, and other copolymers. Styrene is also a key intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals and materials, including resins and synthetic rubber. Due to its reactivity, it can undergo polymerization, leading to the formation of long-chain molecules. However, styrene is also recognized for its potential health hazards, including being a possible human carcinogen, and thus requires careful handling and regulation in industrial applications.
