Definition

ChEBI: 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane is a bromoalkane consisting of cyclododecane bearing six bromo substituents at positions 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 10. It has a role as a neurotoxin, a persistent organic pollutant and a xenobiotic. It is a bromoalkane, a bromohydrocarbon and a brominated flame retardant.

General Description

1,2,5,6,9,10-Hexabromocyclododecane(HBCD) is a brominated flame retardant. It is used in the textile industry and polystyrene foam manufacturing. Electrochemical reduction of HBCD at carbon and silver cathodes has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis.
