ortho-Xylene (1,2-dimethyl-benzene, o-xylene, or OX) is an aromatic compound that is commonly derived from crude oil sources. It is found in the mixed xylenes stream, which is a mixture of ortho-xylene, meta-xylene (MX), and para-xylene (PX). OX is the second-most-consumed component obtained from the mixed xylenes stream. Ortho-xylene is used mostly to produce phthalic anhydride, an important intermediate that leads principally to various coatings and plastics.
