DOT Classification: 6.1; Label: Poison
Xylenol (CAS NO.1300-71-6) is an arene compound with two methyl groups and a hydroxyl group. 6 isomers exist of xylenol of which 2,6-xylenol with both methyl group in an ortho position with respect to the hydroxyl group is the most important. The name xylenol is a contraction of two similar compounds xylene and phenol.
