Benzene Physical Properties & Structure
Benzene is probably the most well known compound in organic chemistry, for the hexagonal shaped C6H6 aromatic ring that is the backbone of most organic molecules in existence. Although it has limited use as a molecule in itself, it is used widely as a precursor for many well known chemical compounds in existence today.
Benzene Derivatives
The number of benzene derivatives is incredibly large, varying from simple to complex derivatives that can combine with a wide range of atoms.
Benzene can form simple halogen-containing compounds, with just one halogen displacing a hydrogen such chlorobenzene and iodobenzene, but can form complex derivatives with hydrocarbons, oxygen and nitrogen-containing compounds for example.
The Reactivity of Benzene
The main reason why benzene is so reactive and can form a wide range of complex compounds is due to the unsaturation of the planar ring. This unsaturation is the reason why benzene can undergo substitution reactions, but unlike alkanes, will not undergo addition or reduction reactions.
The substitution reactions that benzene undergoes are electrophilic substitutions, which mean that nitration, halogenation, acylation and alkylation are all possible, under the right conditions.
Applications of Benzenes & Benzene Derivatives
The global market for benzene and its derivatives is estimated to be around $35 billion, making it one of the top 20 chemicals in terms of volume. The industrial chemical is widely used across many industries due to its versatility and reactivity to make complex compounds.
Benzene is widely used in industry to produce chemicals and materials, which include plastic and other synthetic materials, paints and coatings, fuels and transport.
