CAS 55215-17-3: 2,2',3,4,6-pentachlorobiphenyl

Description: 2,2',3,4,6-Pentachlorobiphenyl, identified by its CAS number 55215-17-3, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are synthetic organic chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity. This compound features five chlorine atoms substituted on a biphenyl structure, specifically at the 2, 2', 3, 4, and 6 positions. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms significantly alters its physical and chemical properties, making it more hydrophobic and less volatile compared to non-chlorinated biphenyls. As a result, 2,2',3,4,6-pentachlorobiphenyl exhibits low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents. It is characterized by its stability, resistance to degradation, and potential to bioaccumulate in living organisms, raising concerns regarding its environmental impact and human health risks. Due to these properties, PCBs, including this specific compound, have been subject to regulatory restrictions and are monitored for their presence in the environment.
