m-XYLENE 99% For Synthesis - 500 ml

Description

m-Xylene by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 1,3-dimethylbenzene, this aromatic hydrocarbon is one of the three isomers of dimethylbenzene. This reagent is available as a colourless liquid which is insoluble in water. It has a melting point of 48 C, and a boiling point of 139 C. Xylene can be prepared by the methylation of toluene and benzene. The compound is stable under general conditions, however, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 108-38-3 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per bottle Molecular formula: C8H10 Molecular weight: 106.17 Assay: 99 %m-Xylene has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. meta-Xylene is majorly used to produce isophthalic acid, which is used as a copolymerizing monomer to alter the properties of polyethylene terephthalate. It additionally finds application as a raw material to manufacture 2,4-xylidine and 2,6-xylidine along with a range of smaller-volume chemicals. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
