The Uses of PHTHALIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER
Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester can be used as a precursor:
- To synthesize dioctyl phthalate, a widely used plasticizer, via esterification reaction with 2-ethylhexanol.
- To prepare a fluorescent probe, 2-[[(3′,6′-dihydroxy-3-oxospiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9′-[9H]xanthen]-5-yl)amino]carbonyl] 2-ethylhexyl benzoic acid ester, to detect toxic metabolite mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP).
The Uses of PHTHALIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER
Phthalate metabolite, responsible for inducing apoptosis in germ and Sertoli cells by disrupting junction complexes.
What are the applications of Application
MEHP is a bioactive metabolite of DEHP
Definition
ChEBI: The mono(2-ethylhexyl) ester of benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid.
General Description
Clear colorless to cloudy white viscous liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
PHTHALIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER may react exothermically with strong oxidizing agents. May also generate heat with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrgen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light.
Fire Hazard
PHTHALIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER is probably combustible.
