Benzene, dimethyl-

Description:
Benzene, dimethyl- refers to a class of organic compounds derived from benzene with two methyl groups attached. The most common isomers of dimethylbenzene are ortho-, meta-, and para-xylene, each differing in the position of the methyl groups on the benzene ring. These compounds are colorless liquids at room temperature, exhibiting a sweet, aromatic odor. They are relatively nonpolar and have moderate solubility in water, but are more soluble in organic solvents. Dimethylbenzenes are flammable and can pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact, potentially causing respiratory irritation or central nervous system effects. They are primarily used as solvents, in the production of plastics, and as intermediates in the synthesis of various chemicals. Additionally, they are important in the petrochemical industry. Proper handling and storage are essential due to their volatile nature and potential environmental impact. Always refer to safety data sheets for specific handling guidelines and exposure limits.
