Question

A derivative of this molecule is the one most commonly phosgenated to form its diisocyanate (“die-eye-so-cyan-ate”), which then reacts with polyols (“polly-alls”) to form polyurethane. A derivative of this organic molecule formed as a byproduct of saccharin synthesis is often used as a strong acid in the acetalization of aldehydes. This molecule reacts with chromyl chloride via an ene (“een”) reaction, then undergoes a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to form an aldehyde (-5[1])in the classical formulation of the (*) Étard reaction. (10[1])This molecule appears second in the initialism of a mixture used to produce petrochemicals (10[1])like polystyrene. (10[2])Sulfonyl chloride (10[2])para-substitutes this molecule to (-5[1])form a molecule that reacts (-5[1])with alkyl alcohols to form sulfonate esters also called tosylates. This molecule (10[2]-5[1])is nitrated (-5[1])three times to form (-5[1])TNT. (10[3]-5[2])For 10 points, (10[3])name this monomethylated (10[1]-5[1])derivative (10[1])of benzene. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[1])

ANSWER: toluene [or methylbenzene] (The mixture is the BTX mixture.)
