Pentachloroanisole

Description:
Pentachloroanisole, with the CAS number 1825-21-4, is an organochlorine compound characterized by the presence of five chlorine atoms attached to an anisole structure, which consists of a methoxy group (-OCH3) bonded to a benzene ring. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is known for its stability and resistance to degradation. Pentachloroanisole is primarily used as a fungicide and a wood preservative, owing to its antimicrobial properties. It is also recognized as a degradation product of pentachlorophenol, a widely used pesticide. The compound is hydrophobic, which affects its solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. Due to its chlorine content, pentachloroanisole can pose environmental and health risks, leading to concerns regarding its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation. Safety measures are essential when handling this substance, as it may have toxic effects on aquatic life and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
