CAS 38380-08-4: 2,3,3',4,4',5-hexachlorobiphenyl
Description:2,3,3',4,4',5-hexachlorobiphenyl, identified by its CAS number 38380-08-4, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are synthetic organic chemicals. This compound consists of two biphenyl rings with six chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions, which significantly alters its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits high thermal stability and resistance to degradation. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 2,3,3',4,4',5-hexachlorobiphenyl is known for its persistence in the environment and bioaccumulation in living organisms, raising concerns regarding its toxicity and potential health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity. Due to these characteristics, its production and use have been heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Environmental monitoring and remediation efforts are essential to manage its presence in contaminated sites.
