Question on Production & Use:[edit]

Just a question for Smokefoot. On the production and use section it states "Ethylbenzene is produced by ethylation of toluene: CH3C6H5 + C2H4 → CH3C6H4C2H5" Why does it say Ethylbenzene when the article is about 4-Ethyltoluene? If not a simple typo, the article would benefit from more explanation as to how ethylbenzene figures into 4-ET production. Thanks, Wysockat (talk) 21:07, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was a very bad typo. Thanks for leaving a note.--Smokefoot (talk) 22:58, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
