DI-N-HEPTYL PHTHALATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear light yellow liquid

Uses

Diheptyl phthalate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in water samples by magnetic solid-phase extraction based on magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes followed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and in food samples by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Uses

Di-n-heptyl Phthalate is a Phthalate derivative and an organic extract contaminant found in drinking water, which was shown to activate Nrf-2-Mediated Antioxidant response in human cell line.

Definition

ChEBI: The diheptyl ester of benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid.

General Description

Odorless white liquid. May float or sink in water.

Reactivity Profile

DI-N-HEPTYL PHTHALATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Can generate electrostatic charges. [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 250].

Health Hazard

Inhalation of vapors from very hot material may cause headache, drowsiness, and convulsions. Contact with eyes may cause irritation.

Chemical Reactivity

Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: May attack some form of plastics; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
