Methyl benzene used as a solvent and in explosives (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toluene

(Other definitions for toluene that I've seen before include "flammable liquid" , "Hydrocarbon resembling benzene" , "Benzene-like liquid" , "Compound" , "Constituent of petroleum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
