CAS 88966-71-6
:4'-tert-butyl-2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl
Description:
4'-tert-Butyl-2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl, identified by its CAS number 88966-71-6, is a chlorinated biphenyl compound characterized by the presence of four chlorine atoms and a tert-butyl group attached to the biphenyl structure. This compound is part of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which are known for their hydrophobic properties and stability, making them persistent in the environment. The tert-butyl group enhances its steric bulk, potentially influencing its chemical reactivity and interactions with biological systems. Due to the presence of chlorine atoms, this compound exhibits significant lipophilicity, leading to bioaccumulation in living organisms. Its environmental persistence raises concerns regarding toxicity and ecological impact, as many PCBs are known to be endocrine disruptors and can have adverse effects on human health and wildlife. Regulatory measures often restrict the use and disposal of such compounds due to their hazardous nature. Overall, 4'-tert-butyl-2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl exemplifies the challenges associated with managing chlorinated organic pollutants.
