Yes Benjamin was alive when his older (full) brother was sold into slavery (Genesis 37). Joseph and Benjamin were the children of Rachel and Jacob. Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin (Genesis 35:16-20).

Benjamin, however, did not take part in selling Joseph into slavery because he was too young to do so.
