2,2-Bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane

Description:

2,2-Bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane, commonly known as Bisphenol A (BPA) derivative, is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes two hydroxyphenyl groups attached to a trichloroethane backbone. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits properties such as thermal stability and resistance to degradation, making it useful in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers and resins. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups contributes to its potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Additionally, due to its structural similarity to BPA, it may exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties, raising concerns regarding its environmental and health impacts. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with exposure to this compound.
