1,2,3,4,5-pentabromo-6-(3,4,5-tribromophenoxy)benzene

Description:

1,2,3,4,5-Pentabromo-6-(3,4,5-tribromophenoxy)benzene is a brominated aromatic compound characterized by its multiple bromine substituents, which significantly enhance its hydrophobicity and potential for bioaccumulation. This compound features a benzene ring with five bromine atoms attached at the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 positions, along with a phenoxy group that contains an additional three bromine atoms on the adjacent phenyl ring. The presence of these bromine atoms contributes to its stability and resistance to degradation, making it a persistent environmental pollutant. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in flame retardants, but also raises concerns regarding toxicity and environmental impact. The compound's high bromine content may lead to endocrine disruption and other adverse biological effects. As a result, its use and disposal are subject to regulatory scrutiny. Overall, 1,2,3,4,5-pentabromo-6-(3,4,5-tribromophenoxy)benzene exemplifies the challenges associated with brominated compounds in terms of both utility and environmental safety.

BDE No 205 solution

Controlled Product

CAS: 446255-56-7

BDE No 205 is a diphenyl ether that is used as an additive for plastics, such as polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride. It is also used in the production of pesticides, dyes, and other organic chemicals. BDE No 205 has been found to be a potential human carcinogen. The chemical undergoes debromination in the environment and can be taken up by living organisms through inhalation or ingestion of contaminated food or water. BDE-205 binds to human serum albumin and accumulates in the liver cells, where it causes DNA damage and cell death. The median concentration of BDE-205 was found to be 3 ng/g dry weight in liver cells from humans who died with no known cause of death.
