Application

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 base excision repair (BER) pathway is an important defense response to oxidative DNA damage. It is known that exposures to phthalate esters (PAEs), including Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), and Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), cause reactive oxygen species-induced DNA
