Toluene is benzene with a methyl group added.
Benzene and toluene, the simplest aromatic hydrocarbons, are generally recovered from reformate or pyrolysis gasoline by liquid-liquid extraction.
Benzene, also known as benzol, is an organic chemical compound with the formula C6H6. It is sometimes abbreviated PhH. Benzene is a colorless and flammable liquid with a sweet smell and a relatively high melting point.
Toluene hydrodealkylation converts toluene to benzene.

benzene is c6h6 and toluene is C7H8

you get toluene, by replacing one of the H that is bonded to benzene with a CH3-

Toluene, C7H8, has one more carbon atom than benzene, C6H6.

benzene - C6H6
Toluene - C7H8

Both of them belong to Aromatic Hydrocarbons and are in the same homologus series as they are separated by a -CH2 group..

Hope its clear.....
