It is extensively used in chemical industry to produce polymers such as polyethene, ethylbenzene, and polyphenylethene. |
In our tests for chemical sensitivities, we selected butanone because it is more irritatingly effective than ethylbenzene. |
The added ethyl group makes ethylbenzene about 25 times more reactive to nitration than benzene. |
Addition of ethylene, through a Friedel-Crafts alkylation, to benzene affords ethylbenzene, which can be dehydrogenated to give styrene. |
For example, benzene and ethyl bromide can be use to make ethylbenzene. |
We selected ethylbenzene and 2-butanone for exposure because ethylbenzene is more odorously effective than 2-butanone. |
