:γ-Hexabromocyclododecane
Description:
γ-Hexabromocyclododecane (CAS 134237-52-8) is a brominated flame retardant that belongs to the class of cycloaliphatic compounds. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a cyclododecane ring with six bromine atoms attached, contributing to its high bromine content. This compound is primarily used in various applications, particularly in plastics and textiles, to enhance fire resistance. γ-Hexabromocyclododecane is known for its effectiveness in reducing flammability, but it has raised environmental and health concerns due to its persistence and potential bioaccumulation. Studies have indicated that it may have endocrine-disrupting properties, prompting regulatory scrutiny in several regions. The compound is typically a white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water, but it can dissolve in organic solvents. Its stability under normal conditions makes it suitable for use in various formulations, although its environmental impact has led to increased interest in finding safer alternatives. Overall, γ-Hexabromocyclododecane exemplifies the balance between utility in fire safety and the need for environmental protection.
