(3'S,6'S,9'S)-2',2',8',8'-tetramethylspiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,10'-octahydro-1H-2,4a-methanonapthalene]

(3'S,6'S,9'S)-2',2',8',8'-tetramethylspiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,10'-octahydro-1H-2,4a-methanonapthalene] is a complex organic compound with the molecular formula C17H28O2 and molecular weight 264.4 g/mol. This spirocyclic compound features a dioxolane ring system fused to a substituted naphthalene structure. It is classified under CAS number 154171-77-4 and presents environmental hazards, specifically chronic aquatic toxicity. The compound's stereochemistry is defined by three specific chiral centers.

The compound exhibits typical properties of a medium-sized organic molecule with its molecular weight of 264.4 g/mol. As a spirocyclic structure containing both aliphatic and cyclic components, it likely presents as a liquid or low-melting solid at ambient conditions. The presence of the dioxolane ring suggests limited water solubility but good solubility in organic solvents. Specific physical data such as melting point, boiling point, and density would require experimental determination for this specialized compound.

The compound serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research due to its complex spirocyclic structure. Its specific stereochemistry makes it valuable for developing chiral compounds and studying stereochemical effects in chemical reactions. The dioxolane functionality suggests potential applications in protecting group chemistry. Given its specialized nature, it is primarily used in research laboratories, pharmaceutical development, and fine chemical synthesis rather than large-scale industrial applications.

Safe handling requires standard laboratory safety equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and lab coats to prevent skin and eye contact. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Given its Aquatic Chronic 2 classification, prevent environmental release and avoid disposal down drains. Use appropriate secondary containment when handling larger quantities. Ensure proper labeling and maintain safety data sheets accessible to all personnel working with this compound.

Store the compound in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain storage temperature according to supplier recommendations to preserve chemical stability. Keep containers properly labeled with hazard information and ensure compatibility with storage materials. Implement measures to prevent environmental release due to its aquatic toxicity classification. Regular inventory checks and proper segregation from incompatible chemicals ensure long-term storage safety and compound integrity.

Immediate decontamination is essential following any contact. For skin contact, remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. In case of eye contact, flush immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If inhaled, move to fresh air immediately. For ingestion, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention. Always consult the safety data sheet and contact emergency services if serious symptoms develop.

Disposal must comply with local and national environmental regulations due to its Aquatic Chronic 2 classification. Never dispose of down drains or into water systems as it poses chronic hazards to aquatic life. Arrange disposal through licensed hazardous waste contractors who can handle organic chemical waste appropriately. Small laboratory quantities may require incineration at high temperatures in approved facilities. Always consult local environmental authorities for specific disposal requirements and maintain waste tracking documentation as required.

Transport is regulated under ADR Class 9 (Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods), Packing Group III, indicating moderate hazard level during transport. Use appropriate packaging that meets UN specification requirements for Class 9 materials. Ensure proper labeling with GHS09 environmental hazard pictogram and relevant transport documentation. Vehicles must carry appropriate emergency response information and drivers should have proper training for hazardous materials transport. Follow all applicable national and international regulations for dangerous goods transportation.

The compound falls under REACH regulation requiring registration for manufacture or import above 1 tonne annually in the EU. CLP regulation mandates classification as Aquatic Chronic 2 with GHS09 pictogram for environmental hazards. It is not currently listed as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). Transport regulations under ADR Class 9 apply for shipping. Users must comply with workplace safety regulations and environmental protection measures. Always verify current regulatory status as classifications and restrictions may be updated periodically.
