CAS 2234-13-1: Octachloronaphthalene

Description: Octachloronaphthalene, with the CAS number 2234-13-1, is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon that consists of a naphthalene backbone fully substituted with chlorine atoms. This compound is characterized by its high degree of chlorination, which significantly alters its physical and chemical properties compared to non-chlorinated naphthalene. Octachloronaphthalene is typically a solid at room temperature, exhibiting low volatility and high stability, which makes it resistant to degradation. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The compound has been studied for its potential environmental impact, particularly as a persistent organic pollutant, due to its bioaccumulation potential and toxicity to aquatic organisms. Additionally, octachloronaphthalene has been used in various industrial applications, including as a dielectric fluid and in the production of other chlorinated compounds. Its environmental persistence and potential health effects have led to regulatory scrutiny and efforts to limit its use and release into the environment.
