1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic Acid 1-(7-Hydroxy-4-methyloctyl) Ester(CAT: R064037) is a derivative of phthalic acid, commonly classified as a phthalate ester. Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers in the production of flexible plastics, particularly polyvinyl chloride (PVC), where they improve material flexibility and durability. This specific ester features a hydroxy-substituted octyl chain, which may influence its physical and chemical properties. Phthalates, including this compound, are often studied for their potential health and environmental impacts, as some have been linked to endocrine disruption and toxicity. As a result, there is ongoing research into safer alternatives and the regulatory control of certain phthalates in consumer products.
