γ-Chlordane

Description:
γ-Chlordane, with the CAS number 5566-34-7, is an organochlorine compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is primarily recognized for its use as a pesticide, particularly in agricultural applications, due to its effectiveness against a variety of pests. γ-Chlordane is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The compound exhibits high lipophilicity, leading to bioaccumulation in the food chain and persistence in the environment. Its chemical structure features multiple chlorine atoms attached to a cyclodiene framework, contributing to its stability and resistance to degradation. While effective as an insecticide, γ-Chlordane has been associated with various environmental and health concerns, including potential carcinogenicity and endocrine disruption. As a result, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. Proper handling and disposal are crucial to mitigate its environmental impact and protect human health.
