A hydrocarbon compound similar to or derived from benzene; a chemical intermediate used in organic synthesis.
From buz- (possibly a variant or shortening related to benzene or butylic compounds) + -ene (chemistry suffix for unsaturated hydrocarbons). Etymology is uncertain; possibly a proprietary or regional chemical name.
Buzylene is one of those technical terms that appeared in chemistry labs and specialized literature but never entered common speech—most of us will never encounter it outside of a chemistry textbook.
