m-Xylene (or meta-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon based on benzene with two methyl substituents. It is an isomer of o-xylene and p-xylene. The m stands for meta meaning the two methyl substituents are at locants 1 and 3 on the aromatic ring. m-Xylene is commonly produced in BTX processes and separated as needed from the other aromatic hydrocarbons.
