Benzene, methyl-

Description:
Benzene, methyl- commonly known as toluene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C7H8. It is characterized by a benzene ring with a single methyl group attached, which contributes to its distinct properties. Toluene is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, pungent odor, and it is less dense than water. It has a relatively low boiling point and high vapor pressure, making it a significant solvent in various industrial applications, including paint thinners, adhesives, and coatings. Toluene is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of numerous chemicals, including benzene derivatives and polymers. While it is useful in many applications, toluene is also recognized for its potential health hazards; inhalation or prolonged exposure can lead to neurological effects and other health issues. Therefore, proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with this substance. Additionally, toluene is flammable, necessitating caution in storage and use to prevent fire hazards.
