2,2′,3,4,4′,6,6′-Heptachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,2′,3,4,4′,6,6′-Heptachlorobiphenyl, with CAS number 74472-48-3, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of biphenyl molecules with multiple chlorine substituents. This compound is characterized by its high degree of chlorination, which contributes to its chemical stability and hydrophobic nature. As a result, it exhibits low volatility and high resistance to degradation, making it persistent in the environment. Heptachlorobiphenyl is typically found as a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its structure allows for various isomeric forms, influencing its physical and chemical properties. Due to its potential toxicity and environmental persistence, 2,2′,3,4,4′,6,6′-Heptachlorobiphenyl has been subject to regulatory scrutiny and is classified as a pollutant of concern. Exposure to PCBs has been linked to adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenicity, prompting efforts to limit its use and mitigate its environmental impact.
