Synthesis of DEHP metabolites as biomarkers for GC-MS evaluation of phthalates as endocrine disrupters

Phthalates are used primarily as plasticizers to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) soft and flexible. In recent years the phthalate esters have attracted increasing attention as environmental and biomedical pollutants and, because of their toxicological characteristics. In particular, they are more and more recognized as endocrine disrupters. In this context, we describe herein an efficient synthetic pathway leading to a series of metabolites of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Mono(2-ethylhexenyl) phthalate was used as starting material to obtain these products in good yield, large scale and GC-MS purity. The metabolites of DEHP were synthesized, for the first time, as biomarkers to verify their quantitative determination in human urine and serum by GC-MS analysis for studying the exposure to phthalates and establishing reference values.

(2-Ethyl-5-oxo-hexyl) Methylthiomethyl Phthalate as By-product of the Swern Oxidation: Improved Synthesis of Ring-deuterated Major Metabolites of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate

Two ring-deuterated major metabolites of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were obtained in excellent yields by means of an improved oxidation procedure. The by-product of their interconversion by Swern oxidation is elucidated and a possible mechanism of its formation is proposed.

Monophthalates with oxidized C5-carbon in the ester chain: A simple synthetic access to two major metabolites of bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate

The synthesis of two oxidized metabolites of bis-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate is described. The target structures were obtained by esterification of the appropriate alcohol carrying a protected hydroxy group with phthalic anhydride, followed by deprotection and further oxidation.
