aniline (C6H5NH2)
Also known as phenylamine or aminobenzene, a colorless, oily, highly toxic liquid that is made by the reduction of nitrobenzene. Aniline is an important starting point for making organic compounds, including some drugs and dyestuffs. It was also used as a propellant for some early rockets, such as the American Corporal. However, because of its toxicity, it is no longer used as a rocket fuel.
