O-Xylene (ortho-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H4(CH3)2
Petroleum contains about one weight percent xylenes. Most o-xylene is produced by cracking petroleum, which affords a distribution of aromatic compounds. o-Xylene is a colorless slightly oily flammable liquid.
o-Xylene is largely used in the production of phthalic anhydride, which is a precursor to many materials, drugs, and other chemicals.

Ortho-xylene is a colorless, flammable liquid chemical compound that is one of the three isomers of xylene. It is primarily used as a raw material in the production of various chemicals, including phthalic anhydride, which is used to manufacture plasticizers for plastics, polyester resins, and other industrial applications. Ortho-xylene is also used as a solvent in paints, coatings, and adhesives.
Ortho-xylene is one of the key raw materials used in the production of phthalic anhydride, which is produced through the catalytic oxidation of ortho-xylene or naphthalene. Phthalic anhydride is then used in the manufacture of plasticizers, polyester resins, and other chemicals, which are widely used in the production of plastics, coatings, and adhesives.
Ortho-xylene exposure can pose health risks such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Prolonged or high-level exposure to ortho-xylene may cause more serious health effects such as central nervous system depression and damage to the liver and kidneys. Ortho-xylene emissions to the environment can also contribute to air pollution and groundwater contamination.
