Comment on “Photodegradation Pathways of Nonabrominated Diphenyl Ethers, 2-Ethylhexyltetrabromobenzoate and Di(2-ethylhexyl)tetrabromophthalate: Identifying Potential Markers of Photodegradation” was written by Rayne, Sierra;Forest, Kaya. And the article was included in Environmental Science & Technology in 2009.Quality Control of 2-Ethylhexyl benzoate The following contents are mentioned in the article:
A polemic in response to Davis and Stapleton [Environ. Sci. Technol. 2009,43(15), 5739-5746] in which the authors confused proton transfer and hydrogen transfer processes in the photolysis of nonabrominated di-Ph ethers, 2-ethylhexyl tetrabromobenzoate, and bis(ethylhexyl) phthalate. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7Quality Control of 2-Ethylhexyl benzoate).
2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Esters contain a carbonyl center, which gives rise to 120° C–C–O and O–C–O angles. Unlike amides, esters are structurally flexible functional groups because rotation about the C–O–C bonds has a low barrier. Their flexibility and low polarity is manifested in their physical properties; they tend to be less rigid (lower melting point) and more volatile (lower boiling point) than the corresponding amides.
