Abstract
Polyphenylene ethers, especially poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) ether, are reacted, in the presence of carboxylic acids, with formaldehyde and hydrogen bromide, whereby 0.02-1 bromomethyl group is introduced, per phenyl nucleus, and a product is obtained containing up to 37.6% by weight of bromine, and losing 2-40% of its weight by thermogravimetric analysis at 250.degree.-325.degree. C. The resultant bromomethylated polyphenylene ethers are suitable, inter alia, as flame retardants.
