C4-Benzenes

The C₄-benzenes are a class of organic aromatic compounds which contain a benzene ring and four other carbon atoms. There are three tetramethylbenzenes, six dimethylethylbenzenes, three diethylbenzenes, three isopropylmethylbenzenes, three n-propylmethylbenzenes and four butylbenzenes. The saturated compounds have formula C₁₀H₁₄ and molecular weight 134.22 g/mol. C₄-benzenes are found in petroleum. Petrol (gasoline) can contain 5-8% C₄-benzenes.
