CAS 33543-31-6: 2-Methylfluoranthene

Description: 2-Methylfluoranthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its fused aromatic rings and a methyl group substitution. It is a derivative of fluoranthene, featuring a methyl group at the second position of the fluoranthene structure. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is known for its hydrophobic nature, which influences its solubility in organic solvents rather than in water. 2-Methylfluoranthene exhibits fluorescence properties, making it of interest in various applications, including organic electronics and as a tracer in environmental studies. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the presence of the methyl group, which can affect its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As with many PAHs, it is important to consider its potential environmental and health impacts, as some PAHs are known to be carcinogenic. Proper handling and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any risks associated with exposure to this compound.
