DIMETILBENCENO Is an aromatic hydrocarbon. Its formula is C6Ha ( CH3 ) 2 ES a benzene with 2 methanol radicals arranged in 3 different isomers. the goal, ortho and paraxilene. This brings complications at the time of cracking since its boiling temperatures are very similar the ortho at 144o the target at 138o and the stop at 138o Xylenes are good solvents. They are part of many gasoline fuel formulations where they stand out for their high octane index. They are important starting products in the obtaining of the tthalic acids, which are synthesized by catalytic oxidation.
