Xylene refers to a group of three isomeric aromatic hydrocarbon compounds: ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. Xylene is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial processes, including the production of paints, coatings, adhesives, and rubber. It can also be found in small amounts in gasoline and other petroleum products.
Uses of Xylene
Solvent: Xylene is an effective solvent for lipids, resins, and various organic compounds. It’s commonly used in the preparation and processing of samples.
Clearing Agent: In histology and pathology labs, xylene is used to make tissue samples transparent during the preparation of microscope slides.
Cleaning: It is used to clean laboratory equipment and glassware due to its ability to dissolve many organic substances.
Chemical Synthesis: Xylene can be a reagent or solvent in organic synthesis reactions.
Dehydration: Used in tissue processing to replace alcohol in the dehydration step before embedding tissues in paraffin.

- n-Butanol (1-butanol): The "n" stands for "normal," indicating that the carbon chain is linear. It is often used as a solvent and in the production of plastics, coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
- Isobutanol (2-methyl-1-propanol): This isomer has a branched structure, with a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the second carbon atom. Isobutanol has applications as a solvent, in the production of various chemicals, and as a fuel additive.
- Sec-butanol (2-butanol): It has a branched structure, with the hydroxyl group attached to the second carbon atom. It's used as a solvent and in the manufacture of perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
- Tert-butanol (2-methyl-2-propanol): This isomer is highly branched, with the hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom that is itself attached to three other carbon atoms. Tert-butanol is used primarily as a solvent and as a chemical intermediate.
