Abstract
Novel brominated polyphenylmethanes, such as poly(tetrabromobenzyl bromide), are provided in a one step process by reacting a benzyl halide and bromine in the presence of a Friedel Crafts catalyst. The brominated polyphenylmethanes can be added to flammable organic polymers to make flame retardant polymer compositions.
