In 1786 William Nieholson wrote A Dictionary of Practical and Theoretical Chemistry. In this work Nicholson mentions that a chemist named Neuman, on distillation of storax (a balsam derived from the tree Liquambar orientalis), had produced a fragrant empyreumatic oil . In 1839 E. Simon carried out some similar experiments, apparently quite independently, and again obtained this essential oil which he ealled styrol. In 1845 M. Glenard and R. Boudault reported on the production of styrol (now known as styrene) by dry distillation of dragons blood, a resin obtained from the fruit of the Malayan rattan palm. [Pg.426]
