Application
Benzene can be used as a solvent in the:
- Heck Reaction of vinyl bromides with styrenes to synthesize functionalized 1,3-dienes.
- Gallium-catalyzed reductive lactonization of γ-keto acids to γ-lactone derivatives.
- Anionic polymerization of styrene and 1,3-butadiene in the presence of phosphazene as a base.

Benzene causes acute myeloid leukemia and probably other hematological malignancies. As benzene also causes hematotoxicity even in workers exposed to levels below the US permissible occupational exposure limit of 1 part per million, further assessment of the health risks associated

We have used Raman spectroscopy to study the molecular and electronic structures of the radical cations and dications of carbon-bridged oligo(para-phenylenevinylene)s (COPVn, n = 1-6) possessing consecutive fused pentagons and hexagons, up to 19, along with COPV derivatives having electron-donating

Benzene exposure has been associated with increased risk of leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Existing studies are sparse for other lymphohaematopoietic cancer subtypes, such as myeloproliferative disease (MPD) and the related chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). We pooled data from three petroleum
