Benzylbutylphthalate

Benzylbutylphthalate (BBzP), also called n-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) or benzyl butyl phthalate, is a phthalate, an ester of phthalic acid, benzyl alcohol and n-butanol. Its chemical formula is C19H20O4, its SMILES representation is CCCCOC(=O)c1ccccc1C(=O)OCc2ccccc2, and its CAS Registry Number is 85-68-7. It comes under trade names eg. Palatinol BB, Unimoll BB, Palatinol BB, or Sicol 160. It is mostly used as a plasticizer for PVC. R,R=CnH2n+1; n=4-15 Phthalates are a group of chemical compounds that are mainly used as plasticizers -- substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility. ... In organic chemistry and biochemistry, esters are organic compounds where an organic group (symbolised by R in this article) replaces a hydrogen atom (or more than one) in an oxygen acid. ... Phthalic acid, or benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid, with formula C6H4(COOH)2. ... Benzyl alcohol, also known as phenylmethanol, is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor. ... Butanol is a higher alcohol with a 4 carbon atom structure and a general formula of C4H10O. There are 4 different isomeric structures for butanol: butan-1-ol CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH (also n-butanol) butan-2-ol CH3-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3 (also sec-butanol) isobutyl alcohol CH3...

NTP: Abstract for TR-458 - Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (1701 words)
Previous studies of butyl benzyl phthalate by the NTP (1982a) resulted in chemical-related mortality in male rats beginning at about 14 weeks of exposure and, thus, were inadequate for evaluating carcinogenicity in male rats.
There was equivocal evidence of carcinogenic activity of butyl benzyl phthalate in female 344/N rats based on the marginally increased incidences of pancreatic acinar cell adenoma and of transitional epithelial papilloma of the urinary bladder.
Exposure of rats to butyl benzyl phthalate in feed for 2 years resulted in focal hyperplasia in the pancreas in male rats and in transitional epithelial hyperplasia in the urinary bladder of female rats.
