How about brucine [Slightly soluble in ethyl ether and benzene]
or strychnine [8 hr Time Weighted Avg (TWA): 0.15 mg/cu m; One gram
dissolves in 182 ml ethanol, 6.5 ml chloroform, 150 ml benzene, 250
ml methanol, 83 ml pyridine.]

I need the collective wisdom of the group…
I’m trying to think of any chemical that is
soluble in benzene and has NO significant hazardous
characteristics other than toxicity (i.e.,
not flammable, corrosive, water-reactive, etc.).
However, the more toxic it is, the better…
I do not want the actual chemical – just
the name. I’m trying to create a hypothetical “what-if”
scenario for an upcoming discussion about responding to
chemical spills in a laboratory.
If you have any suggestions, please reply
