Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 43P
Following is the structural formula of hexabromocyclododecane. This compound was at one time used as a flame retardant in polystyrene foam insulation in buildings, but has now been banned because it had been shown to be toxic to aquatic organisms, and can disrupt thyroid hormone levels in laboratory test animals. In addition, it persists in the environment.
Show how this flame retardant could be synthesized from a cycloalkatriene and write the structural formula and IUPAC name of this starting material.
