CAS 2498-66-0: Benz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione

Description: Benz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its fused aromatic rings and the presence of two carbonyl (C=O) functional groups at the 7 and 12 positions. This compound is known for its planar structure, which contributes to its stability and potential for intercalation into DNA. It exhibits a range of physical properties, including a relatively high melting point and low solubility in water, typical of PAHs. Benz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione is of interest in environmental chemistry due to its formation from the incomplete combustion of organic materials and its potential mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Its reactivity is influenced by the carbonyl groups, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic attacks. This compound is often studied in the context of its biological effects, particularly in relation to its role as a pollutant and its implications for human health and the environment. As with many PAHs, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to its toxicological properties.
