pHtalas
Phthals are a group of aromatic organic compounds with the formula C6H4(CO2R)2, where R is an alkyl or aryl group. They are characterized by the presence of two carboxyl groups attached to a benzene ring. Phthals are widely used in various industries due to their versatile chemical properties.
The simplest member of the phthalic acid group is phthalic acid itself, which has two carboxyl groups
Phthals are primarily used as precursors in the production of polyesters, which are a type of plastic.
Phthals are generally considered to be relatively non-toxic, but they can be harmful if ingested or inhaled
