2-METHYLCYCLOPENTA[L]PHENANTHRENE

Description:

2-Methylcyclopenta[l]phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its complex fused ring structure, which includes a methyl group attached to a cyclopentane moiety. This compound is notable for its potential biological activity and environmental persistence, typical of many PAHs. It exhibits hydrophobic properties, leading to low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. The presence of multiple aromatic rings contributes to its stability and resistance to degradation. 2-Methylcyclopenta[l]phenanthrene is of interest in various fields, including environmental chemistry and toxicology, due to its potential carcinogenic effects and its occurrence in fossil fuels and combustion products. Its molecular structure influences its reactivity and interaction with biological systems, making it a subject of study in understanding the health impacts of PAHs. As with many such compounds, safety precautions are necessary when handling it, given its potential health risks.
