5-tert-Butyl-m-xylene is a chemical compound from the family of alkylbenzenes and is a colorless liquid at room temperature.

It can be used for the synthesis of polyalkylated diaryl disulfides such as bis(4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenyl) disulfide and bis(2,4,6)-triisopropylphenyl) disulfide.[2]

It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of xylometazoline.[3][4]
