Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Applications 5,​6-​Chrysenedione is a useful reactant for organic reactions. It is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon quinones, and studied as possible carcinogens. References Boyle, K.M., et al.: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 140, 5612-24 (2018); Shultz, C.A., et al.: Chem. Res. Toxicol., 24, 2153-66 (2011);

Applications 5-Chloroacenaphthene is a chlorinated derivative of acenaphthene, a polycyclic hydrocarbon that has potential to act as polyploidizing agents in plants. References Campbell, K., et al.: J. Org. Chem., 16, 1712 (1951); Reisen, F. & Arey J.: Env. Sci. Tech., 36, 4302 (2002)

Applications 1-Methoxynaphthalene is one of the numerous volatile components found in tobacco smoke, and has been found to induce damage on plasma membrane tissues of cultured human lung fibroblasts. References Thelestam, M., et al.: Toxiology, 15, 203 (1980)

Applications 3,​5,​6,​8-​Tetrabromo-​1,​2-​dihydro-acenaphthylene is a byproduct during the synthesis of 3,​5,​6-​Tribromo-​1,​2-​dihydroacenaphthylene (T771875), a derived from Acenaphthene (1,2-Dihydro Acenaphthylene) (D448330), which is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as carcinogenic agents. References Hansen, B., et al.: Environ. Toxicol. Chem., 18, 772 (1999); Czub, G., et al.: Environ. Sci. Technol., 38, 2406 (2004)

Applications Anthracene is obtained from coal tar. It is an important source of many dyes.This compound is a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs) Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package

Applications 1-(2-(Phenanthren-9-yl)phenyl)propan-2-one is an metabolite of Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (D416945), an well known polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons found in hot mix asphalt paving workers and the most potent tumorigen that has been identified to date.

Applications 5-Nitroacenaphthene is a derivative of acenaphthene, a polycyclic hydrocarbon that has potential to act as polyploidizing agents in plants. References Liu, Y., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 57, 5203 (2014);

Applications Benzo[e]pyrene is an isomer of benzopyrene (B205800) that exhibits mutagenic and carcinogenic activity in rodents. Benzo[e]pyrene is most commonly found in cigarette smoke and is a toxicant to human retinal pigment cells in vitro by inducing cell death by activating various caspase pathways. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Wood, A., et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 254, 4408 (1979);
