rac Mono(5-carboxy-2-ethylpentyl) Phthalate-d4

Mono(5-carboxy-2-ethylpentyl) phthalate-d4 (MECPP-d4) is a deuterium labeled Mono(5-carboxy-2-ethylpentyl) phthalate (HY-133675). Mono(5-carboxy-2-ethylpentyl) phthalate (MECPP) is a metabolite of Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is the predominant plasticizer added to rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to impart flexibility, temperature tolerance, optical clarity, strength and resistance to kinking[1][2][3].
