2,3,4',5-tetrachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,3,4',5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl, with the CAS number 74472-34-7, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are synthetic organic chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity. This compound consists of two connected phenyl rings, each substituted with chlorine atoms at specific positions, which significantly influences its chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid with low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents, making it a hydrophobic compound. Due to its chlorinated structure, it exhibits high thermal stability and resistance to degradation, contributing to its environmental persistence. 2,3,4',5-Tetrachlorobiphenyl is known for its potential to bioaccumulate in living organisms, leading to concerns regarding its effects on human health and ecosystems. It has been associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity. As a result, its production and use have been heavily regulated or banned in many countries.
