Synthesis route :

The synthesis of Diethyl Phtalate is an esterification reaction, carried out from phtalic anhydride, by a reaction with ethanol, in the presence of a small acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid. Phtalic anhydride is preferred to phtalic acid to improve the reaction yield.

Synthesis precursor :

Diethyl phtalate is not used to synthesize another perfume compound.

Isomerism :

Diethyl Phtalate does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Natural availability :

Diethyl Phtalate is not available in its natural state.

Allergens :

This ingredient does not contain any allergen.

Uses in perfumery :

Diethyl Phtalate is an organic denaturant present in the alcohol of several perfumes, to make them unsuitable for oral consumption. It can also be used as a solvent in certain fragrance concentrates.
For stability reasons, it is one of the most suitable solvents for 100% natural candle base and for body and hair oils. It can also be used in shower gel (it can still affect viscosity), shampoo, cream, candle, fabric softener and household cleaner bases.
On the other hand, Diethyl Phtalate should not be placed in a dishwashing liquid base, still for stability reasons.

Other names :

PE, Anozol, DEP, diethylbenzene-1,2-dicarboxylate, di ethyl phtalate, diethyl 1,2-benzene dicarboxylate, diethyl ortho-phtalate, diethylphtalate, dpx-f5384, ethyl 2-(ethoxycarbonyl)benzoate, neantine, palatinol A, phthalol, placidol E, solvanol, unimoll DA, uniplex 105
