CAS 39765-80-5: trans-Nonachlor
Description:Trans-Nonachlor is a synthetic organic compound classified as a chlorinated hydrocarbon, specifically a type of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). It is primarily known for its use as a pesticide and is a degradation product of the insecticide chlordane. Trans-Nonachlor is characterized by its complex structure, which includes multiple chlorine atoms attached to a nonane backbone, resulting in a stable and lipophilic compound. This stability contributes to its persistence in the environment, leading to bioaccumulation in aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The compound is typically found as a colorless to pale yellow solid or viscous liquid, with low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents. Due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, trans-Nonachlor is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. Its presence in the environment raises concerns regarding human health, particularly in relation to endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity.
