« on: February 02, 2007, 03:42:45 AM »
Could anyone please answer the folowing questions as relating to BENZYNE:

1) how is it used?

2) who sells it?

3) how much does it cost?

4) is it ever used as a lime or algae cleaner in swimming pools?

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks, already been there.  However it doesn't really address the specific questions for me.

1) It's a reactive intermediate generated from elimination of ortho leaving groups on a benzene ring

2) nobody

3) see 2)

4) errrmm... nope!

I really would like you to elaborate on this really rather bizarre question !!

I would love to elaborate but unfortunately I am not doing this for myself.  A friend (who has no web access) wrote me and asked me to research this for him.  I posted his questions exactly as writeen and haven't the foggiest what they mean or why he needs the info.

Thanks for the reply, nevertheless.
