5-Bromo-5-nitro-l,3-dioxane — Bronidox

In cosmetics, use of 5-bromo-5-nitro-l,3 dioxan (Bronidox) [II, 17.15.] and 2-bromo-2-nitro-propane-l,3-diol (Bronopol) [II, 17.14.] has declined dramatically, as there exists the risk that in cosmetic formulations containing amines N-nitroso compounds may originate which are known as carcinogens.
