Toluene (Methylbenzene)

Toluene (Methylbenzene)

Toluene, also known as toluol, is an aromatic hydrocarbon. Toluene's systematic IUPAC name is methylbenzene. It is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid with the smell associated with paint thinners. Toluene is produced during petroleum refining operations, directly as a by-product of styrene manufacture and indirectly as a by-product of coke-oven operations. It is produced from petroleum as an aromatic mixture with benzene and xylene primarily by catalytic reforming and pyrolytic cracking. The major use of toluene is as a mixture added to gasoline to improve octane ratings,to produce benzene and as a solvent in paints, coatings, synthetic fragrances, adhesives, inks, and cleaning.
