Toluene, effect

Extraction of coal extract solution with toluene - effect of temperature... 

Treatment of the furanone (11) with triethylamine in toluene effected migration of the double bond to give a mixture of the two stereoisomeric fu-ranones (12) (Scheme 2) (92 Mil). 

Xylenes and ethylbenzene (Figure 13.7) are common gasoline constituents, industrial solvents, and reagents, so human exposure to these materials is common. The absorption (primarily through inhalation), metabolism, and effects of these solvents are generally similar to those of toluene. Effects are largely on the central nervous system. Effects of xylenes and ethylbenzene on organs other than the central nervous system appear to be limited.
