1,2,3,4,7,8-HEXABROMODIBENZOFURAN

Description:
1,2,3,4,7,8-Hexabromodibenzofuran (CAS 129880-08-6) is a polybrominated dibenzofuran, a class of compounds known for their use as flame retardants. This substance is characterized by the presence of six bromine atoms attached to a dibenzofuran structure, which contributes to its high thermal stability and resistance to combustion. Hexabromodibenzofuran is typically a white to off-white solid and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its chemical stability and lipophilicity raise concerns regarding environmental persistence and bioaccumulation. As a member of the brominated flame retardants, it has been scrutinized for potential toxicological effects, including endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity. Regulatory agencies have classified certain brominated compounds as hazardous, leading to restrictions on their use in various applications. Due to its environmental and health implications, ongoing research is focused on understanding its behavior in ecosystems and potential alternatives for flame retardancy.
