the choice of the name Xilinx refers to the chemical.
Xylene dimethylbenzene is any one of three isomers of dimethylbenzene, or a combination thereof. With the formula (CH3)2C6H4, in each of the three compounds two hydrogen atoms in the benzene ring are substituted by two methyl groups. They are all colorless, flammable, slightly greasy liquids. They are of great industrial value.[3] The mixture is referred to as both xylene and, more precisely, xylenes. Mixed xylenes refers to a mixture of the xylenes plus ethylbenzene. The four compounds have identical empirical formulas C8H10. Typically the four compounds are produced together by various catalytic reforming and pyrolysis methods.
Xylenes are an important petrochemical produced by catalytic reforming and also by coal carbonisation in the manufacture of coke fuel. They also occur in crude oil in concentrations of about 0.5–1%, depending on the source. Small quantities occur in gasoline and aircraft fuels.
Xylenes are produced mainly as part of the BTX aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes) extracted from the product of catalytic reforming known as reformate.
Several million tons are produced annually.[3] In 2011, a global consortium began construction of one of the world's largest xylene plants in Singapore.
Xylene is used in the laboratory to make baths with dry ice to cool reaction vessels,[18] and as a solvent to remove synthetic immersion oil from the microscope objective in light microscopy.[19] In histology, xylene is the most widely used clearing agent.[20] Xylene is used to remove paraffin from dried microscope slides prior to staining. After staining, microscope slides are put in xylene prior to mounting with a coverslip.
