m-Xylene (meta-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the three isomers of dimethyl benzene known collectively as xylenes. The m- stands for meta-, indicating that the two methyl groups in m-xylene occupy positions 1 and 3 on a benzene ring. It is in the positions of the two methyl groups, their arene substitution pattern, that it differs from the other isomers, o-xylene, and p-xylene. All have the same chemical formula C6H4(CH3)2. All xylene isomers are colorless and highly flammable
The major use of meta-xylene is in the production of isophthalic acid, which is used as a copolymerizing monomer to alter the properties of polyethylene terephthalate. The conversion of m-xylene to isophthalic acid entails catalytic oxidation. meta-Xylene is also used as a raw material in the manufacture of 2,4- and 2,6-xylidine as well as a range of smaller-volume chemicals. Ammoxidation gives isophthalonitrile.
