o-Xylene

Description:
o-Xylene, also known as 1,2-dimethylbenzene, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H10. It is one of the three isomers of xylene, the others being m-xylene and p-xylene. o-Xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a boiling point of approximately 144°C and a melting point of about -25°C. This compound is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint thinners, varnishes, and adhesives. Additionally, o-xylene serves as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, such as phthalic anhydride and isophthalic acid. It is important to handle o-xylene with care, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and prolonged exposure may lead to health issues. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance.
