Common NameAlkyl benzene sulfonic acids and alkyl sulfates, amine salts (generic)
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionA six-carbon aromatic annulene in which each carbon atom donates one of its two 2p electrons into a delocalised pi system. A toxic, flammable liquid byproduct of coal distillation, it is used as an industrial solvent. Benzene is a carcinogen that also damages bone marrow and the central nervous system.
