2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl

Description:

2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl, with CAS number 88966-73-8, is a synthetic organic compound belonging to the class of biphenyl derivatives. This substance is characterized by the presence of multiple chlorine atoms and a trifluoromethyl group, which significantly influence its chemical properties and reactivity. The chlorinated biphenyl structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The trifluoromethyl group enhances its stability and lipophilicity, which can affect its biological activity and environmental persistence. This compound is often studied for its potential applications in various fields, including materials science and as a chemical intermediate. However, due to the presence of halogenated substituents, it may also raise concerns regarding toxicity and environmental impact, necessitating careful handling and assessment in accordance with safety regulations. Overall, 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl exemplifies the complexity of halogenated organic compounds in both industrial and environmental contexts.
