Friedrich Kekule (KECK-you-lee) determined the structure of this compound which consists of alternating single and double bonds, a system of delocalized electrons which gives it a property known as aromaticity.
An ethylene group is attached to this compound in the monomer that forms the plastic polystyrene ("POLLY"-sty-reen). Placing two methyl groups on this compound produces xylene (ZY-leen), while fully reducing this compound produces cyclohexane (SY-klo-hex-ain).
