7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene

Description:
7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its complex structure, which consists of multiple fused aromatic rings. It is a derivative of benz[a]anthracene, with a methyl group attached at the 7-position. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is known for its hydrophobic nature, making it poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 7-Methylbenz[a]anthracene is of particular interest in environmental chemistry and toxicology due to its potential carcinogenic properties. It is often studied in the context of its biological effects, including its role in the formation of DNA adducts, which can lead to mutations and cancer. The compound is also used in research related to the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and the effects of PAHs on human health and the environment. Proper handling and disposal are essential due to its toxicological implications.
