Benzoate plasticizers, such as the glycol-, diethyleneglycol-, and triethyleneglycol esters, are obtained by transesterification of methyl benzoate with the corresponding diol. [22] These plasticizers, which are used similarly to those derived from terephthalic acid ester, represent alternatives to phthalates .
