Product Information

• Name: 2-Ethylphenol
• Synonyms: o-Ethylphenol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Ethylphenol is a phenolic acid, which is a type of organic compound that contains an hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring. 2-Ethylphenol is used in the production of polymers, such as polyurethane and polyester, as well as in the manufacture of other chemicals. It can also be found in some food products, such as coffee beans and cocoa beans. 2-Ethylphenol has been shown to have P450 activity by increasing the rate at which rat liver microsomes metabolize testosterone into estradiol. The kinetic constants for this reaction were determined using solid phase microextraction (SPME). A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used to extract 2-ethylphenol from a water sample. The sample preparation was done with anhydrous sodium sulfate, which acted as a desiccant and was then heated to remove any remaining water vapor
