Cyclic phosphazene compound having oxaphosphorin ring-containing structure

Abstract

A novel cyclic phosphazene compound that is represented by Formula (1) and is useful as a flame retardant of a resin material can enhance flame retardancy of the resin material and achieve good dielectric properties while suppressing deterioration in physical properties. In Formula (1), n is an integer of 3 to 8. Rand Rare (i) each independently a nitro group, either an alkyl group or an alkoxy group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms in which an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an aryl group may be substituted, or an either aryl group or an aryloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms in which an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an aryl group may be substituted; or (ii) forming, in-between them, a saturated or an unsaturated cyclic structure that may be substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a carbonyl group. a and b are each independently an integer of 0 to 4. The type of the oxaphosphorin ring-containing structure of each repeating unit is independent.
