C3-Benzenes
The C3-benzenes are a class of organic
benzene ring
and three other carbon atoms.
For the hydrocarbons
with no further unsaturation, there are four isomers. The chemical formula for all the saturated isomers is C9H12.
There are three
trimethylbenzenes, three ethylmetylbenzenes, and two propylbenzene isomers. Petrol (gasoline) can contain 3-4% C3-benzenes.[1]
