For 10 points, name this cyclic compound, whose structure was hypothesized by Kekulé, which has formula C6H6.
This compound can be produced in the Bergman reaction via the heating and hydrogenation of enediyne, and substitution of a nitrogen for one of its carbons yields pyridine. In the presence of lithium, ammonia, and alcohol, this compound can be converted into 1,4-cyclohexadiene via the Birch reduction, while its complete reduction yields cyclohexane. Derivatives of this compound include the hydroxylated version phenol and the methyl version toluene.
