2,2',3,4,4',6'-hexachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,2',3,4,4',6'-hexachlorobiphenyl, identified by its CAS number 59291-64-4, 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 six chlorine atoms substituted on a biphenyl structure, which significantly alters its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits low volatility, making it resistant to degradation. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its hydrophobic nature, leading to bioaccumulation in living organisms and potential biomagnification in food chains. 2,2',3,4,4',6'-hexachlorobiphenyl is known for its stability and resistance to chemical reactions, which, while beneficial in industrial applications, raises concerns regarding environmental contamination and human health risks. It has been associated with various adverse effects, including endocrine disruption and potential carcinogenicity. Due to these characteristics, the use of PCBs, including this compound, has been heavily regulated or banned in many countries.
