Xylene, also referred to as dimethylbenzene or Xylol, is a colorless, clear, and flammable organic chemical compound, representing one of the three isomers of dimethylbenzene. Structurally, it consists of a central benzene ring with two methyl groups attached as substituents. Produced through catalytic reforming and coal carbonization, xylene is also naturally occurring in crude oil, aircraft fuels, and gasoline. Its mixture is slightly greasy with a sweet smell, commonly used as a solvent. Despite its colorless appearance, xylene does not dissolve in water but exhibits miscibility with various organic liquids. The chemical formula for xylene is (CH3)2C6H4.
