The title compound can be made by reacting ethylene glycol with hexabromo-p-xylene in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The compound is useful as a fire retardant for plastics, and can be used to form a polyester of the linear type. Fibers made from such polyesters are useful for making fire retardant textiles, carpets, drapes, and garments.
