Summary.
The synthesis of an oxidative major metabolite of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is described. The target molecule and its ring-deuterated isomer were obtained via acylation of the appropriate ω-hydroxy benzyl ester or the corresponding carboxylate with phthalic anhydride or phthalic anhydride-d4. All transformation steps proceed with high yields.
