CAS 35693-92-6: 2,4,6-Trichlorobiphenyl
Description:2,4,6-Trichlorobiphenyl, with the CAS number 35693-92-6, is a chlorinated biphenyl compound characterized by the presence of three chlorine atoms attached to the biphenyl structure at the 2, 4, and 6 positions. This compound is part of a larger class of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which are known for their stability and resistance to degradation, making them persistent environmental pollutants. 2,4,6-Trichlorobiphenyl is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its chemical stability and hydrophobic nature contribute to its bioaccumulation in the environment and living organisms. The compound has been studied for its potential toxicological effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity, leading to regulatory restrictions on its use and disposal. Due to its environmental persistence, 2,4,6-Trichlorobiphenyl is often monitored in environmental samples, particularly in sediments and biota, to assess pollution levels and ecological impacts.
