CAS 40186-72-9: 2,2′,3,3′,4,4′,5,5′,6-Nonachlorobiphenyl
Description:2,2′,3,3′,4,4′,5,5′,6-Nonachlorobiphenyl, with the CAS number 40186-72-9, is a synthetic organic compound belonging to the class of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). It is characterized by the presence of nine chlorine atoms attached to a biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Nonachlorobiphenyl is known for its stability and resistance to degradation, which contributes to its persistence in the environment. Due to its chemical properties, it can bioaccumulate in living organisms and may pose ecological and health risks. PCBs, including nonachlorobiphenyl, have been associated with various adverse effects, including endocrine disruption and potential carcinogenicity. As a result, the use of PCBs has been heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Environmental monitoring and remediation efforts are often necessary to manage the presence of such persistent organic pollutants.
