A Mechanochemical Kolbe–Schmitt Reaction: Catechol Carboxylation Provides Building Blocks for Renewable Plasticizers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A mechanochemical Kolbe–Schmitt reaction of disodium catecholate enables the synthesis of mono‐ and dicarboxylated catechols at low temperature and CO2 pressure. Directly derivatizing the resulting carboxylic acid and phenolic moieties in the obtained mixture provides plasticizer blends with efficiencies competitive to commercial benchmarks.

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) [PDF]

The Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2004
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate or DEHP is a colorless, oily liquid and notably, with respect to clinical concerns, is soluble in blood and body fluids containing lipoproteins. Despite being listed as a possible human carcinogen in the 1980's, more recent concerns have focused on its potential toxicity as a result of leaching from medical devices into ...
