CAS 3351-32-4: 2-Methylchrysene

Description: 2-Methylchrysene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its complex fused ring structure, which consists of four fused benzene rings with a methyl group attached to the second position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is known for its hydrophobic nature, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 2-Methylchrysene is of interest in environmental chemistry due to its occurrence in fossil fuels and its potential as a pollutant. It is also recognized for its mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, which raises concerns regarding its impact on human health and the environment. The compound can be formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as in vehicle emissions and industrial processes. Its presence in various matrices, including air, soil, and sediments, has been studied to assess environmental contamination and human exposure risks. As with many PAHs, proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate health risks associated with exposure.
