Application

Phthalic acid may be used in the synthesis of benzoic acid.[1] It may be used to constitute the mobile phase during hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (ESI-MS/MS) analysis of free amino acids (AAs) in human thyroid tissues.[2]

General description

Phthalic acid (1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid. On heating, it undergoes dehydration to afford cyclic anhydride. It can be synthesized from phthalic anhydride.[1]

In this work, 0.08 mmol L(-1) of phthalic acid was introduced as a mobile phase additive to quantify free amino acids (AAs) by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). The addition of phthalic

Phthalate esters are widely used as plasticizers in the manufacture of products made of polyvinyl chloride. Mono-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (MEHP) induces rodent hepatocarcinogenesis by a mechanism that involves activation of the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha). MEHP also activates PPAR-gamma
