Preparation of 1,3-Dimethylbenzene :
 It can be prepared by sulfonated hydrolysis. Firstly, mixed xylene is distillated. Then the fraction of 130-140 °C is collected and sulfonated with sulfuric acid at the temperature of 80-90 °C for 3.5 hours. At last, the product is obtained by collecting fraction of 140-150 °C after hydrolysis and distillation.

Uses of 1,3-Dimethylbenzene :
 It can be used for the production of isophthalic acid, methyl benzoate, isophthaloyl nitrile, and also can be used as raw material of pharmaceutical, dye, spice and color film purity. It is used to produce 2,4,4'-trimethyl-benzophenone by reaction with 4-methyl-benzoyl chloride. The reaction needs reagent AlCl3 and solvent CH2Cl2. The yield is about 66%.
1,3-Dimethylbenzene  is used to produce 2,4,4'-trimethyl-benzophenone by reaction with 4-methyl-benzoyl chloride.

Safety Information of 1,3-Dimethylbenzene:
When you are using 1,3-Dimethylbenzene, please be cautious about it. As a chemical, it is irritating to eyes and skin. It has danger of very serious irreversible effects through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Besides, it is highly flammable. During using it, wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. Keep container tightly closed and away from sources of ignition. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately.
