Mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate

Description:

Mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate, with the CAS number 40809-41-4, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phthalate esters. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a phthalate moiety and a carboxypentyl side chain. This compound is typically used as a plasticizer, enhancing the flexibility and durability of polymers, particularly in the production of plastics. It is known for its relatively low volatility and good thermal stability, making it suitable for various applications in the manufacturing of flexible materials. Additionally, it may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Safety and environmental considerations are important, as phthalates have been scrutinized for potential health effects and environmental persistence. Therefore, its use is often regulated, and alternatives are being explored in many applications. Overall, Mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate serves as a functional additive in industrial processes, but its implications for health and the environment necessitate careful management.
