2,2-dichloro-1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol

Description:

2,2-Dichloro-1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 3567-18-8, is an organic compound characterized by its complex structure featuring two chlorinated phenyl groups and a dichloroethanol moiety. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits a high degree of lipophilicity due to the presence of multiple chlorine atoms, which can influence its solubility in organic solvents. It is known for its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, often serving as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. The presence of chlorine atoms contributes to its reactivity and stability, making it a subject of interest in studies related to environmental persistence and toxicity. Additionally, its molecular structure suggests potential interactions with biological systems, warranting further investigation into its pharmacological properties and safety profile. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is essential to handle this substance with care, considering its potential environmental and health impacts.
