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.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of repeated injection of 4-chlorodiphenyl ether (4-CDE) on the survival and growth of endometriotic implants. Endometriosis was surgically induced in adult female B6C3F1 mice (n = 25) after ovariectomy. Seven

The metabolic disposition of 14C-labeled 4-chlorodiphenyl ether ([14C]4-CDE) was examined in rats following iv administration of a single dose (850 nmol/kg). [14C]4-CDE decayed rapidly from the blood since no unchanged [14C]4-CDE was detected in the blood beyond 2 hr after

Surgically induced endometriosis in the mouse has been described as a model to investigate the effect of environmental pollutants on the growth of endometriotic implants. The objectives of this study were to evaluate a modified surgical procedure to induce endometriosis

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
