General description

4-Chlorodiphenyl ether is halogenated diphenyl ether. It is an estrogenic contaminant and its effect on the growth of endometrial implants has been investigated. Dehalogenations of 4-chlorodiphenyl ether at 375°C over CaO/Ca(OH)2 has been reported.

Application

4-Chlorodiphenyl ether can be used in the preparation of 4′-chloro-2,2′,3,3′,4,5,5′,6,6′-nonabromodiphenyl ether (Cl-BDE-208), an internal standard used in the analysis of highly brominated diphenyl ethers.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used extensively as brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in textiles, upholstery and electronics. They are ubiquitous contaminants in wildlife and humans. A low concentration of nonabrominated diphenyl ethers (nonaBDEs) is present in commercial DecaBDE and
