Toluene /ˈtɒluːiːn/, formerly known as toluol /ˈtɒluːɒl/, is a clear, water-insoluble liquid with the typical smell of paint thinners. It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative, i.e., one in which a single hydrogen atom from a group of six atoms from the benzene molecule has been replaced by a univalent group, in this case CH₃. As such, its IUPAC systematic name is methylbenzene.

It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used as an industrial feedstock and as a solvent. Like other solvents, toluene is sometimes also used as an inhalant drug for its intoxicating properties; however, inhaling toluene has potential to cause severe neurological harm.^[2]^[3] Toluene is an important organic solvent, but is also capable of dissolving a number of notable inorganic chemicals such as sulfur,^[4] iodine, bromine, phosphorus, and other non-polar covalent substances.

History[edit]

The compound was first isolated in 1837 by a Polish chemist Filip Walter through a distillation of pine oil who named it retinaptha.^[5] This name was replaced shortly after by the word toluene derived from the older name toluol, which refers to tolu balsam, an aromatic extract from the tropical Colombian tree Myroxylon balsamum, from which it was also isolated later.^[6] It was originally named by Jöns Jakob Berzelius.

Physical properties[edit]

The surface tension of toluene is 27.73 dyn/cm.

Chemical properties[edit]

Toluene reacts as a normal aromatic hydrocarbon towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.^[7]^[8]^[9] The methyl group makes it around 25 times more reactive than benzene in such reactions. It undergoes smooth sulfonation to give p-toluenesulfonic acid, and chlorination by Cl₂ in the presence of FeCl₃ to give ortho and para isomers of chlorotoluene.

With other reagents the methyl side chain in toluene may react, undergoing oxidation. Reaction with potassium permanganate and diluted acid (e.g., sulfuric acid) or potassium permanganate with concentrated sulfuric acid, leads to benzoic acid, whereas reaction with chromyl chloride leads to benzaldehyde (Étard reaction). Halogenation can be performed under free radical conditions. For example, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) heated with toluene in the presence of AIBN leads to benzyl bromide. Toluene can also be treated with elemental bromine in the presence of UV light (direct sunlight) to yield benzyl bromide. Toluene may also be brominated by treating it with HBr and H₂O₂ in the presence of light.^[10]

Catalytic hydrogenation of toluene to methylcyclohexane requires a high pressure of hydrogen to go to completion, because of the stability of the aromatic system. pK_a is approximately 45.

Production[edit]

Toluene occurs naturally at low levels in crude oil and is usually produced in the processes of gasoline via a catalytic reformer, in an ethylene cracker or making coke from coal. Final separation, either via distillation or solvent extraction, takes place in one of the many available processes for extraction of the BTX aromatics (benzene, toluene and xylene isomers).

Laboratory preparation[edit]

Toluene can be prepared industrially or in the laboratory by a variety of methods.

From benzene (Friedel–Crafts reaction)

Although only of pedagogical interest, benzene reacts with methyl chloride in presence of anhydrous aluminium chloride to form toluene. The formation follows an electrophilic substitution reaction according to this stoichiometry:

C₆H₅H + CH₃⁺ → C₆H₅CH₃ + HCl

Many catalysts can be used in place of AlCl₃. Their order of reactivity is :AlCl₃ > SbCl₃ > SnCl₄ > BF₃ > ZnCl₂ > HgCl₂. The reaction is not very useful because toluene formed readily undergoes further alkylation at a still-greater speed to produce polysubstituted products.

From bromobenzene (Wurtz-Fittig reaction)

The Wurtz-Fittig reaction is the reaction of an aryl halide and alkyl halide in presence of sodium metal to give substituted aromatic compounds. When bromobenzene and methyl bromide react with sodium metal in dry ether solution, toluene is obtained.^{[citation needed]}

C₆H₅Br + CH₃Br + 2Na → C₆H₅CH₃ + 2NaBr

From toluic acid (decarboxylation)

When sodium salt of toluic acid (o-, m-, p-) is heated with soda lime, toluene is obtained.

C₆H₄CH₃COONa (sodium toluate) + NaOH → C₆H₅CH₃ (toluene) + Na₂CO₃

From cresol

When cresol (o-, m-, p-) is distilled from zinc dust, toluene is obtained.

C₆H₄CH₃OH (cresol) + Zn → C₆H₅CH₃ (toluene) + ZnO

From toluenesulfonic acid

When toluenesulfonic acid is treated with superheated steam or boiled with HCl, toluene is obtained.

CH₃C₆H₄SO₃H (toluenesulfonic acid) + HOH (steam) → C₆H₅CH₃ (toluene) + H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid)

From toluidine

Toluidine is first diazotized with sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) and HCl at low temperature. The diazonium compound thus obtained is heated with alkaline stannous chloride (SnCl₂). This reaction gives toluene.

Uses[edit]

Toluene is mainly used as a precursor to benzene. The process involves hydrodealkylation:

C₆H₅CH₃ + H₂ → C₆H₆ + CH₄

The second ranked application involves its disproportionation to a mixture of benzene and xylene. When oxidized it yields benzaldehyde and benzoic acid, two important intermediates in chemistry.^[11]

Solvent[edit]

Toluene is a common solvent, able to dissolve paints, paint thinners, silicone sealants,^[12] many chemical reactants, rubber, printing ink, adhesives (glues), lacquers, leather tanners, and disinfectants. It can also be used as a fullerene indicator, and is a raw material for toluene diisocyanate (used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam) and TNT. In addition, it is used as a solvent for carbon nanotubes. It is also used as a cement for fine polystyrene kits (by dissolving and then fusing surfaces) as it can be applied very precisely by brush and contains none of the bulk of an adhesive. Toluene can be used to break open red blood cells in order to extract hemoglobin in biochemistry experiments.

Fuel[edit]

Toluene can be used as an octane booster in gasoline fuels used in internal combustion engines. Toluene at 86% by volume fueled all the turbo Formula 1 teams in the 1980s, first pioneered by the Honda team. The remaining 14% was a "filler" of n-heptane, to reduce the octane to meet Formula 1 fuel restrictions. Toluene at 100% can be used as a fuel for both two-stroke and four-stroke engines; however, due to the density of the fuel and other factors, the fuel does not vaporize easily unless preheated to 70 degrees Celsius (Honda accomplished this in their Formula 1 cars by routing the fuel lines through the muffler system to heat the fuel). Toluene also poses similar problems as alcohol fuels, as it eats through standard rubber fuel lines and has no lubricating properties, as standard gasoline does,^{[citation needed]} which can break down fuel pumps and cause upper cylinder bore wear.

In Australia, toluene has been found to have been illegally combined with petrol in fuel outlets for sale as standard vehicular fuel. Toluene attracts no fuel excise, while other fuels are taxed at over 40%, so fuel suppliers are able to profit from substituting the cheaper toluene for petrol. This substitution is likely to affect engine performance and result in additional wear and tear. The extent of toluene substitution has not been determined.^[13]^[14]

Toluene is another in a group of fuels that have recently been used as components for jet fuel surrogate blends.^[15] Toluene is used as a jet fuel surrogate for its content of aromatic compounds.

Niche applications[edit]

Toluene has also been used as a coolant for its good heat transfer capabilities in sodium cold traps used in nuclear reactor system loops.

Toluene had also been used in the process of removing the cocaine from coca leaves in the production of Coca-Cola syrup.^[16]

Toxicology and metabolism[edit]

Main article: Toluene (toxicology)

Inhalation of toluene in low to moderate levels can cause tiredness, confusion, weakness, drunken-type actions, memory loss, nausea, loss of appetite, and hearing and color vision loss. These symptoms usually disappear when exposure is stopped. Inhaling high levels of toluene in a short time may cause light-headedness, nausea, or sleepiness. It can also cause unconsciousness, and even death.^[17]^[18]

Toluene is, however, much less toxic than benzene, and has, as a consequence, largely replaced it as an aromatic solvent in chemical preparation. For example, benzene is a known carcinogen, whereas toluene has very little carcinogenic potential.^[19]

Similar to many other solvents such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane and some alkylbenzenes, toluene has been shown to act as a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist and GABA_A receptor positive allosteric modulator.^[20] It is abused as an inhalant likely on account of the euphoric and dissociative effects these actions produce.^[20] Additionally, toluene has been shown to display antidepressant-like effects in rodents in the forced swim test (FST) and the tail suspension test (TST).^[20]
