"Michael Faraday first isolated and identified benzene in 1825 from the oily residue derived from the production of illuminating gas, giving it the name bicarburet of hydrogen." - which makes it pretty obvious what came first, the chicken(benzene) or the egg(its substituted compounds).

@Chinmay : It's not nice being sarcastic like that...he misread the question, can happen to anyone. Imagine yourself misreading the question in your JEE...you get my point.
@vinay : Rofl = rolling on floor laughing.
