CAS 2306-33-4

Monoethyl phthalate

Description:

Monoethyl phthalate (MEP), with the CAS number 2306-33-4, is an organic compound belonging to the phthalate family, which are esters of phthalic acid. MEP is characterized by its colorless, odorless liquid form, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used as a plasticizer in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers, enhancing their flexibility and durability. MEP is also utilized in various consumer products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and adhesives. In terms of chemical structure, MEP consists of a phthalate backbone with an ethyl group attached to one of the carboxyl groups, which influences its physical and chemical properties. While MEP is considered to have low acute toxicity, concerns have been raised regarding its potential endocrine-disrupting effects and environmental persistence. Regulatory agencies monitor its use, particularly in products that may come into contact with food or be used by children.

Monoethyl phthalate is a hydroxylated phthalic acid ester that is used in wastewater treatment. The compound is an endocrine disruptor and has been shown to cause allergic symptoms, such as dermatitis and asthma, in infants. It also affects maternal blood and can cause phthalate syndrome in humans. Monoethyl phthalate is a carcinogen and has been shown to cause adrenocortical carcinoma in rats. This compound also increases body mass index (BMI) in humans and decreases the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Monoethyl phthalate can be detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using analytical methods such as sample preparation and granulosa cells for analysis.
