CAS 319-84-6: α-Hexachlorocyclohexane
Description:α-Hexachlorocyclohexane, also known as alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane or α-HCH, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that is a derivative of cyclohexane. It is characterized by the presence of six chlorine atoms attached to the cyclohexane ring, which significantly alters its chemical properties. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. α-HCH is known for its insecticidal properties and was historically used as a pesticide, particularly in agriculture. However, due to its persistence in the environment and potential toxic effects on human health and wildlife, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The compound is classified as a persistent organic pollutant (POP) and can bioaccumulate in the food chain. Its chemical structure contributes to its stability and resistance to degradation, leading to environmental concerns regarding its long-term presence in ecosystems. Safety measures are essential when handling α-HCH due to its toxicological profile.
