Xylene or dimethyl benzene is any one of three isomers of dimethyl benzene, or a combination thereof. With the formula (CH₃)₂C₆H₄, each of the three compounds has a central benzene ring with two methyl groups attached at substituents. They are all colorless, flammable liquids, some of which are of great industrial value. The mixture is referred to as both xylene and, more precisely, xylenes.
