9,10,12,13-Tetrabromooctadecanoic acid

Description:
9,10,12,13-Tetrabromooctadecanoic acid is a brominated fatty acid characterized by the presence of four bromine atoms attached to an 18-carbon chain. This compound is a derivative of octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) and is notable for its high degree of bromination, which significantly alters its physical and chemical properties. The presence of bromine atoms enhances its hydrophobic nature and can impart flame-retardant properties, making it of interest in various industrial applications. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit low solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. The compound is often studied for its potential environmental impact, particularly in relation to its persistence and bioaccumulation in ecosystems. Additionally, its use in polymer chemistry and as a flame retardant raises concerns regarding toxicity and regulatory scrutiny. Overall, 9,10,12,13-Tetrabromooctadecanoic acid serves as an important example of how halogenation can modify the behavior and utility of organic compounds.
