p-nitroxylene, o-nitroxylene (?)
Explanation:
Could this be a typo? Possibly try changing the "d" to an "x"? (After all, they are near each other on most keyboards!)

The terms p-nitroxylene and o-nitroxylene do exist:

http://www.chemicaldictionary.cn/o-nitroxylene/

But I have no idea if po-nitroxylene exists! Sorry I could not be of more help.

Trichloroetylene.


Explanation:
Nunca me han presentado un trodileno.... Será un gross typo por "trileno"

Trileno es el otro nombre del tricloroetileno

Se me ocurre (vaya imaginación!!) que la frase puede ser "Pon trodileno"
