CAS 70362-46-8

2,2′,3,5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,2′,3,5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl, with the CAS number 70362-46-8, is a chlorinated biphenyl compound that belongs to the class of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). It is characterized by the presence of four chlorine atoms attached to a biphenyl structure, specifically at the 2, 2', 3, and 5 positions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Due to its chlorinated nature, it exhibits hydrophobic properties and can bioaccumulate in the environment, leading to concerns regarding its persistence and potential toxicity. 2,2′,3,5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl has been studied for its effects on human health and the environment, as PCBs are known to be endocrine disruptors and can cause various adverse health effects. Regulatory measures have been implemented in many countries to limit the use and release of PCBs, including 2,2′,3,5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl, due to their environmental and health risks.
