2,2',3,3',4,5,5',6-octachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,2',3,3',4,5,5',6-octachlorobiphenyl, commonly referred to as one of the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its complex structure consisting of two biphenyl rings with eight chlorine atoms substituted at various positions. This compound is part of a larger group of PCBs, which are known for their chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and resistance to degradation, making them persistent environmental pollutants. 2,2',3,3',4,5,5',6-octachlorobiphenyl is typically colorless to light yellow and exhibits low volatility. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which contributes to its bioaccumulation in the food chain. Due to its toxicological properties, including potential carcinogenic effects and endocrine disruption, its use has been heavily restricted or banned in many countries. Environmental monitoring and remediation efforts are ongoing to address the contamination associated with PCBs, including this specific compound, highlighting the importance of understanding its behavior and impact in ecosystems.

The octachlorobiphenyls are a group of chlorinated biphenyls. The 2,2',3,3',4,5,5',6-octachlorobiphenyl (2,2',3,3',4,5,5',6-OCB) is a polychlorinated biphenyl with electronegativity and high polarity. It is used in sample preparation for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in environmental matrices such as soil or water. The 2,2',3,3',4,5,5',6-OCB is calibrated against standards and validated with chemical analysis. This congener can be measured using plasma lipids assays and muscle biopsies to determine its levels in humans. The 2,2',3,3',4,5,5'6-OCB has been shown to bioconcentrate in fish and mammals and may be toxic at higher levels
