General description
Hexabromobenzene is used as fire retardant in plastics, paper and electric manufactured goods. It undergoes protodebromination when treated with sodium methoxide in methanol and ethyl methyl ketone to give a mixture of tetrabromobenzenes.
Application
The porphyrinogenic potential of hexabromobenzene (HBB) with hexachlorobenzene was studied in the liver of primiparous rats.
