CAS 189084-60-4
:2,46-Tribromodiphenyl ether
Description:
2,4,6-Tribromodiphenyl ether, with the CAS number 189084-60-4, is an organobromine compound that belongs to the class of brominated flame retardants. It features a diphenyl ether structure where three bromine atoms are substituted at the 2, 4, and 6 positions of one of the phenyl rings. This compound is characterized by its high thermal stability and effectiveness in reducing flammability in various materials, making it useful in plastics, textiles, and electronics. It is typically a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Due to its brominated nature, it has raised environmental and health concerns, particularly regarding its persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation. Studies have indicated that it may exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties, prompting regulatory scrutiny. As with many brominated compounds, proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
