So the pH adjustment did nothing, worked perfectly, or did not work, or simply was not attempted ?
There are far too many of these kind of things on SM these days.
Either you're ACTUALLY doing an experiment or you're not.

According to this patent:
http://www.google.tm/patents/US2801271
O-xylene and m-xylene are tert-butylated by isobutylene in the presence of acids, whereas p-xylene is not, probably due to the lack of an unhindered
position on p-xylene. It should be possible to take advantage of this in a "wet" process using e.g. pinene or another 1,1-disubstituted alkene which
is liquid at stp. If the goal is to obtain p-xylene, you're done at this point.
Then o-phthalic acid may be separated from m-phthalic acid by production of the anhydride, correct? Or maybe not?

Does anyone know how much o-xylene is actually contained in commercial solvent xylene (e.g. Klean Strip)?

@Aga; I am attempting this experiment as i said my last attempt was hydrolysing m xylene sulphonic acid under reflux and yes i added hcl to my
previous attempt but nothing happened. Do i have to add it to this one too and reflux again? Or add more sulph acid to 50% cause now its strength is
something around 12.26%. Now my goal is to get phthalic acid and M xylene in pure form because i want to use it in lidocaine synthesis. I dont need p
xylene in any form because i dont know what to do with this.
@JJay; i think its m xylene- 60% o xylene- 20% p xylene- 20% in chemical grade but as solvent in Poland o xylene is 0.6% so too small to do do
anything. I think thats because it is most worth isomer. You can go to builder shop and check msds of any xylene solvent you have there.

The Klean Strip SDS doesn't really say: http://www.kleanstrip.com/uploads/documents/GXY24_SDS-LL44.p...
Is there a better one somewhere?
