1,1,2,3,4,5,6-heptachlorocyclohexane

Description:

1,1,2,3,4,5,6-Heptachlorocyclohexane, with the CAS number 707-55-1, is a synthetic organic compound belonging to the class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is characterized by a cyclohexane ring with seven chlorine atoms substituted at specific positions, resulting in a highly chlorinated structure. This compound is typically a white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Heptachlorocyclohexane is known for its stability and persistence in the environment, which raises concerns regarding its potential ecological and health impacts. It has been used historically as a pesticide, particularly in agricultural applications, but its use has been restricted or banned in many countries due to its toxicity and potential to bioaccumulate in living organisms. The compound exhibits properties such as high lipophilicity and resistance to degradation, making it a subject of environmental monitoring and research regarding its long-term effects on ecosystems and human health.
