A variant spelling of benzol; benzene or benzene-containing liquid, especially from coal tar distillation.
From 'benzoin' + '-ole' (variant liquid suffix), another historical nomenclature for benzene. Common in European chemistry texts of the 1800s.
Benzole is basically a spelling accident from when chemists weren't quite sure how to name this mysterious substance from coal tar—by the time they settled on 'benzene,' the older names still lingered!
