1,2,3,4-tetrachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan

Description:

1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan is a polycyclic aromatic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings and a furan ring, with four chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions. This compound is part of a larger class of chlorinated dibenzofurans, which are known for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity. It typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of chlorine atoms significantly influences its chemical properties, including its reactivity and stability. 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan is of interest in environmental chemistry due to its formation as a byproduct in various industrial processes, particularly in the production of chlorinated compounds. Its potential as a pollutant raises concerns regarding its impact on human health and ecosystems, necessitating careful monitoring and regulation. Additionally, its persistence in the environment can lead to bioaccumulation in living organisms, further emphasizing the need for understanding its behavior and effects in ecological contexts.
