2,3,4,7,8-Pentabromodibenzofuran

Description:

2,3,4,7,8-Pentabromodibenzofuran (CAS 131166-92-2) is a polybrominated dibenzofuran, a class of compounds known for their use as flame retardants. This substance is characterized by the presence of five bromine atoms attached to a dibenzofuran structure, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature and persistence in the environment. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The compound is of interest due to its potential environmental and health impacts, as it can bioaccumulate and may exhibit toxicological effects similar to other brominated flame retardants. Its stability and resistance to degradation raise concerns regarding its long-term presence in ecosystems. Regulatory scrutiny has increased around such compounds due to their potential endocrine-disrupting properties and effects on wildlife. As a result, research continues into its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential alternatives for flame retardancy applications.
