CAS 56-55-3: Benzanthracene

Description: Benzanthracene, with the CAS number 56-55-3, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) composed of four fused benzene rings, resulting in a complex structure that contributes to its chemical properties. It is a solid at room temperature, typically appearing as a colorless to pale yellow crystalline substance. Benzanthracene is known for its high stability and low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and chloroform. This compound is primarily recognized for its role as a carcinogen, with significant implications in environmental chemistry and toxicology, as it can be formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials. Benzanthracene exhibits fluorescence and can absorb ultraviolet light, making it of interest in various scientific studies, including those related to photochemistry and environmental monitoring. Its presence in coal tar and certain fossil fuels raises concerns regarding human exposure and environmental impact, necessitating careful handling and regulation in industrial applications.
