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
