Phthalic anhydride is a principal commercial form of phthalic acid.
2.
This colourless solid is an isomer of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid.
3.
Chromic acid oxidizes it to retene quinone, phthalic acid and acetic acid.
4.
It can be oxidised to phthalic acid.
5.
DINP is typically a mixture of chemical compounds consisting of various isononyl esters of phthalic acid.
6.
It is a mixture of compounds derived from the esterification of phthalic acid and isomeric decyl alcohols.
7.
The methyl ester of phthalic acid, it is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents.
8.
Typical polyols used are glycols such as ethylene glycol; acids used are phthalic acid and maleic acid.
9.
It is a phthalate and is the diester of phthalic acid and the 10-carbon branched-chain alcohol 2-propylheptanol.
10.
Although phthalic acid is of modest commercial importance, the closely related derivative phthalic anhydride is a commodity chemical produced on a large scale.
