1-Chloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane

Description:

1-Chloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane, with the CAS number 2642-80-0, is an organic compound characterized by its chlorinated structure. It features a central ethane backbone with two p-chlorophenyl groups attached to the second carbon, along with a chlorine atom on the first carbon. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is known for its stability and low volatility. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for chlorinated organic compounds. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its lipophilicity and potential bioaccumulation in the environment. 1-Chloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane has been studied for its applications in various fields, including as an insecticide and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. However, due to its environmental persistence and potential toxicity, its use is subject to regulatory scrutiny. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks through exposure.

1-Chloro-2,2-bis(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane

CAS: 2642-80-0

1-Chloro-2,2-bis(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane is an organochlorine pesticide known for its agricultural applications. It is a synthetic product derived from chlorinated hydrocarbons. It functions primarily through its mode of action as an insecticide by interfering with the nervous system of insects. It disrupts normal nerve function by causing prolonged opening of sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to hyperexcitation and eventual paralysis of the target pests.
