In short, it's a type of paint thinner, or, if you want to get technical, an industrial solvent. That's how it smells, too. Toluene (C7H8 (C6H5CH3)), is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and it's molecule is shaped in a ring. It's very flamable, and it's vapors are toxic. It is also known as methylbenzene or phenylmethane, and it won't dissolve in water. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on toluene.

Is toluene miscible with ethyl alcohol?
While ethanol is strongly polar, and toluene is only slightly polar, the two solvents are miscible. Just pour one into the other and stir a little to evenly distribute it. Toluene and ethanol mixtures have been tried as an alternative solvent to benzene and ethanol, as benzene has been found to be carcinogenic.

Is toluene a pure substance or mixture?
