Is m-xylene solvent polar or nonpolar?

Nov 05, 2025 Leave a message

CAS 108-38-3 m-Xylene (meta-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon. 

 

m-Xylene is generally considered a nonpolar solvent. It is nonpolar enough that it is immiscible with water and excellent at dissolving other nonpolar substances like oils, fats, and many resins.

 

m-Xylene (meta-xylene) has very low water miscibility and high BP. However, it has lower MP than the o and p isomers of xylene so has wider scope for recrystallizations as it won't solidify in the freezer. Pentane may be added as anti-solvent, then removed at will by evaporation. m-Xylene is curiously more viscous at RT than related hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene & n-alkanes. Meta-xylene is the more stable xylene; heating p-xylene with HCl & AlCl3 causes irreversible alkyl migration to give the m-xylene isomer.
