dimethylbenzyl
Dimethylbenzyl refers to a chemical group derived from toluene, also known as methylbenzene, by substituting two hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring with methyl groups. The precise location of these two methyl groups dictates the specific isomer. For example, 1,2-dimethylbenzene is commonly called ortho-xylene, 1,3-dimethylbenzene is meta-xylene, and 1,4-dimethylbenzene is para-xylene. Collectively, these isomers are known as xylenes.
Xylenes are aromatic hydrocarbons with the chemical formula C8H10. They are colorless, flammable liquids with a
