You could use hexane to form benzene (aromatization) and then make toluene by Friedel Craft alkylation.
(or)
IUPAC naming for toluene is methyl benzene. It can be prepared from the straight chain alkanes, when they are heated in the presence of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 at around 500-600°C. This results in the cyclization followed by dehydrogenation. the reaction results in the aromatization of alkanes.
The alkane used for this is n-heptane.
