PHTHALIC ACID MONO-2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless Oil

Uses

Phthalate metabolite, responsible for inducing apoptosis in germ and Sertoli cells by disrupting junction complexes.

Uses

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).

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.
