Toluene

Toluene is a clear water-insoluble liquid with the typical smell of paint thinners, reminiscent of the related compound benzene. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used as an industrial feedstock and as a solvent. Like other solvents, toluene is also used as an inhalant drug for its intoxicating properties; however this causes severe neurological harm.

Toluene (/ˈtɒl.jun/), also known as toluol (/ˈtɒl.ju.ɒl, ɔːl, l/), is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon[15] with the chemical formula C6H5CH3, often abbreviated as PhCH3, where Ph stands for the phenyl group. It is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid with the odor associated with paint thinners. It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative, consisting of a methyl group (CH3) attached to a phenyl group by a single bond. As such, its systematic IUPAC name is methylbenzene. Toluene is predominantly used as an industrial feedstock and a solvent.

As the solvent in some types of paint thinnerpermanent markerscontact cement and certain types of glue, toluene is sometimes used as a recreational inhalant[16] and has the potential of causing severe neurological harm

Toluene

(CAS 108-88-3) is a clear, colorless, and highly flammable liquid aromatic hydrocarbon (

) with a characteristic benzene-like odor. It is widely used as an industrial solvent in paints, coatings, adhesives, and cleaning agents, as well as a raw material for producing benzene, urethane, and dyes. It is toxic, posing risks of respiratory irritation, nervous system effects, and organ damage.

Key Properties and Characteristics

Common Uses and Applications
    • Solvent: Widely used in paint thinners, lacquers, glues, printing inks, and fingernail polish.
    • Industrial Feedstock: Used in the production of polyurethane, benzene, and other organic chemicals.
    • Laboratory: Utilized in gas chromatography (ECD and FID) and other analytical applications.

Safety and Hazard Information
    • Hazards: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.
    • Health Effects: Exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, unconsciousness, and damage to organs (including the liver) through prolonged exposure.
    • Reproductive Toxicity: May damage fertility or the unborn child.
    • Regulatory: Classified as a hazardous substance, requiring strict handling protocols to avoid inhalation and skin contact.

Environmental Impact
  • Toluene is toxic to aquatic life.
  • It occurs naturally in crude oil and is produced during gasoline refining.

Application

    • Toluene Detection in Biological Samples Using SPME-GC-MS.: This research presents a method for detecting toluene in biological samples using solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). The method provides high sensitivity and accuracy, making it suitable for biological monitoring of toluene exposure (Suh et al., 2015).
    • Adsorption Characteristics of Toluene on Metal-Organic Frameworks.: This paper explores the adsorption characteristics of toluene on various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The study identifies the most efficient MOFs for toluene adsorption, offering insights for industrial applications in air purification (Zhang et al., 2019).
