Benz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione, 1,6,8-trihydroxy-3-methyl-

Description:

Benz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione, 1,6,8-trihydroxy-3-methyl- is an organic compound belonging to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is characterized by its complex structure, which includes multiple fused aromatic rings and hydroxyl functional groups. This compound typically exhibits a high degree of hydrophobicity due to its extensive carbon framework, which influences its solubility in organic solvents rather than water. The presence of hydroxyl groups contributes to its potential reactivity and biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including environmental chemistry and toxicology. Benz[a]anthracene derivatives are often studied for their roles in biological systems and their potential as carcinogens. The compound's molecular structure allows for various interactions, including hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking, which can affect its behavior in biological and environmental contexts. Additionally, its stability under certain conditions makes it a subject of research in understanding the fate of PAHs in the environment and their impact on human health.
