α-Hexabromocyclododecane

Description:

α-Hexabromocyclododecane (CAS 134237-50-6) is a brominated flame retardant that belongs to the class of cycloaliphatic compounds. It is characterized by its high molecular weight and the presence of six bromine atoms attached to a cyclododecane ring structure, which enhances its flame-retardant properties. This compound is typically a white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water, but it can dissolve in organic solvents. Its primary application is in the production of various materials, particularly in plastics and textiles, to reduce flammability. However, α-Hexabromocyclododecane has raised environmental and health concerns due to its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation. Studies have indicated that it may exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties, prompting regulatory scrutiny and research into safer alternatives. As a result, its use is being phased out in some regions, and ongoing assessments are being conducted to evaluate its long-term impacts on human health and ecosystems.
