CAS 32598-10-0: 2,3′,4,4′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl
Description:2,3′,4,4′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl, with the CAS number 32598-10-0, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are synthetic organic chemicals known for their stability and resistance to degradation. This compound features two phenyl rings connected by a single bond, with four chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions on the biphenyl structure. The presence of chlorine atoms significantly alters its physical and chemical properties, making it lipophilic and hydrophobic. As a result, 2,3′,4,4′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl exhibits low volatility and high thermal stability, which contributes to its persistence in the environment. It is typically found in industrial applications, although its use has been largely restricted due to environmental and health concerns, including its potential as an endocrine disruptor and its classification as a probable human carcinogen. The compound can bioaccumulate in the food chain, leading to ecological and health risks. Proper handling and disposal are crucial to mitigate its environmental impact.
