Chemical Structure

3,4-Dichloro-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione CAS 2892-63-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4-Dichloro-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3,4-Dichloro-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (CAS 2892-63-9), molecular formula C4H2Cl2O2 and molecular weight 152.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3,4-Dichloro-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione (C4H2Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
