7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene

Description:
7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (CAS 57-97-6) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) known for its structure, which consists of four fused benzene rings with two methyl groups attached at the 7 and 12 positions. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and chloroform. It is recognized for its role as a potent carcinogen, particularly in laboratory studies involving animal models, where it has been shown to induce tumors. The compound is often used in research to study the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and the effects of PAHs on biological systems. Due to its toxicological properties, 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene is handled with caution in laboratory settings, and appropriate safety measures are essential to mitigate exposure risks. Its presence in the environment, particularly in combustion products and fossil fuels, raises concerns regarding human health and ecological impacts.
