Benzene and its derivatives are mainly used in synthetic organic chemistry. The main source of polynuclear aromatic compounds is coal tar. For example‚ naphthalene is the largest single constituent (6 - 10%) of coal tar. It is mainly found in middle oil fraction of coal tar distillation. Anthracene is mainly extracted from green oil fraction of coal tar. Generally polynuclear aromatic compounds are carcinogenic and toxic in nature. Benzene is the simplest aromatic compound with C6H6 molecular
