CAS 77-40-7

Bisphenol B

Description:

Bisphenol B, with the CAS number 77-40-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of bisphenols, which are characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl groups attached to aromatic rings. It is structurally similar to Bisphenol A (BPA) but has distinct properties and applications. Bisphenol B is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are valued for their strength, thermal stability, and resistance to chemicals. However, like other bisphenols, Bisphenol B has raised concerns regarding its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, which can interfere with hormonal functions in living organisms. Regulatory scrutiny has increased around bisphenols due to their widespread use and potential health impacts, leading to ongoing research into safer alternatives. Overall, Bisphenol B is an important industrial chemical with specific applications, but its safety profile continues to be a subject of investigation.

Bisphenol B-d8

Controlled Product

CAS: 77-40-7

Applications Bisphenol B-d8 is the isotope labelled analog of Bisphenol B. Bisphenol B, is the analouge of Bisphenol A (B519495), which is used to make certain plastic an epoxy resins. BPA and its analogs, are also shown to activate human pregnane X receptor (PXR), a nuclear receptor that functions as a master regulator of xenobiotic metabolism.
