1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(4-methylcyclohexyl) ester

Description:
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(4-methylcyclohexyl) ester, commonly known as bis(4-methylcyclohexyl) phthalate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups derived from phthalic acid. This compound features a benzene ring with two carboxylate groups at the 1 and 2 positions, each esterified with a 4-methylcyclohexyl group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the bulky 4-methylcyclohexyl groups contributes to its relatively high molecular weight and influences its physical properties, such as viscosity and boiling point. This compound is primarily used as a plasticizer in various polymer applications, enhancing flexibility and durability. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity, but like many phthalate esters, it is subject to regulatory scrutiny due to potential environmental and health concerns. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate any risks associated with its use.
