Chemical Structure

1,3,6,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran CAS 30402-14-3 chemical structure

Description

1,3,6,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (CAS 30402-14-3), molecular formula C12H4Cl4O and molecular weight 305.97 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1,3,6,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (C12H4Cl4O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 1,3,6,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
