4,5,4',5'-tetrachloro-2,2'-sulfanediyl-di-phenol, also known as 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (HCB), is a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compound characterized by the presence of four chlorine atoms at positions 4 and 5 on both the biphenyl rings. This chemical is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 180-190°C. It is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) due to its chemical stability, low water solubility, and high lipophilicity, which allows it to accumulate in the environment and biota. The compound has been associated with various adverse health effects, including endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and potential carcinogenicity. Due to its hazardous properties, the production and use of PCBs, including 4,5,4',5'-tetrachloro-2,2'-sulfanediyl-di-phenol, have been banned or restricted under international agreements such as the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5136-30-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,1,3 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5136-30: (6*5)+(5*1)+(4*3)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*0)=71 71 % 10 = 1 So 5136-30-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
