Synonyms: benzene, benzolene, carbon oil, coal naptha, cyclohexatriene, phenyl hydride, pyrobenzol, benzol, benzole, cyclohexatriene, pyrobenzole, benzine, pyrobenzol, benzolene, [6]annulene, carbon oil, rcra waste number u019, 2,5-cyclohexadien-1,4-ylene, benzinum, benzolum, aromatic alkane
Benzene is a major constituent of crude oil, an excellent fuel and solvent and a precursor used in the manufacture of many chemicals, particularly upon reaction to form cyclohexane, ethyl benzene and cumene.
