337513-54-9 - Introduction
3,4,5-Tribromodiphenyl ether (3,4,5-Tribromodiphenyl ether) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H6Br3O. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid with low volatility.
3,4, 5-tribromodiphenyl ether is commonly used in the field of flame retardants. Because of its good flame retardant properties, it is widely used in electronic equipment, plastic products and building materials and other fields to improve its fire resistance. It can effectively slow down the flame spread speed, reduce the generation of combustion smoke and harmful gases.
The common method for preparing 3,4, 5-tribromodiphenyl ether is the bromination reaction of p-dibromophenol (2-Bromophenol). The specific preparation process includes adding sodium bromide (NaBr) and iron tribromide (FeBr3) to 2-Bromophenol, usually reacting under hot conditions, and finally separating the product through crystallization.
With regard to safety, 3,4, 5-tribromodiphenyl ether is considered a potentially toxic substance. Long-term exposure or exposure to high concentrations may have negative effects on human health. Its toxicity is mainly manifested in the effects on the nervous system and cardiovascular system. Therefore, when using or handling the substance, care should be taken to follow relevant safety practices and ensure appropriate protective measures, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves and respiratory protection. In addition, it is recommended to avoid contact with other chemicals to avoid unsafe reactions. When disposing of the substance, the relevant environmental regulations should be observed to prevent pollution to the environment.
