Toluene was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article.

http://ntp-server.niehs.nih.gov/htdocs/8_RoC/RAC/TDI.html has a lot more information on toluene, and seems to be under the typical U.S. government copyright terms: not copyrighted unless it says otherwise. (A search on "copyright" shows 2 results, both of which contain an explicit notice of copyright.) I'm sending an email asking to make sure. --KQ
Ah yes. C7H8, equally unpleasant but not the same thing. Thanks. --KQ
I'm waiting for a response about my copyright question. :-) --KQ
toluene as rightly says is methyl benzene. the point the stucture of benzene has NO double bonds but a delocalised ring of electrons shown by the ring in the middle.
The German Wikipedia has a very good article on this subject. It should probably be translated. →Iñgólemo← (talk) 00:47, 2004 Dec 9 (UTC)
Some of you may be puzzled by the sudden frantic (& sometimes bizarre!) editing going on this page- we are testing out a new Chemical infobox as part of the Chemicals Wikiproject. This should be completed soon. Walkerma 15:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find any references about toluene being transformed into epoxides. I have re-written this section to reflect the papers I could find that stated that benzaldehyde and cresols were the major products after benzyl alcohol. However, if this is correct, the diagram needs to be changed. What was the source for the original statement about epoxides? Also, dietary fiber is insoluble, but is excreted just fine in the feces, this sentence is unclear. TimVickers 00:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Fail, several problems with the article.

What is "BASIFY"? This word appears nowhere else on Wikipedia, anywhere. And it is being used as an adjective but doesn't seem to be one. --Craig 24.69.169.80 ( talk) 18:42, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
I believe the below statement with reference should be added to the article on Toluene under uses.
Toluene is used in the synthesis of the antipsychotic drug Haloperidol wherein "Heating 4-chloro-1-(4-fluorophenyl)butan-1-one with 4-(p-chlorophenyl)piperadine-4-ol in presence of potassium iodide as catalyst and toluene as solvent affords [[4-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-1-piperidyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)butan-1-one]] also called Haloperidol brand name Haldol".

Toluene sniffing can lead to a distal renal tubular acidosis. This can cause a life-threatening metabolic acidosis and hypokalemia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.15.47.187 ( talk) 01:01, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

It seems like that toluene has derived from a cyclic form of glucose by way of losing all oxygen. Is there any research on that? AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 11:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
