Description

Bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-carbinol is a nonpolar compound with a linear plot. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, insecticides, and pharmaceuticals. Bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-carbinol has been shown to bind to cylindrospermum, which is a type of marine algae that can be found in ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef. This binding reaction is the result of diphenylmethane, which is an aromatic compound that binds to bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-carbinol's electron-donating groups. The binding reaction was studied using dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) and carbon source experiments on soil microorganisms. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are responsible for metabolizing bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-carbinol into unidentified metabolites.
