Chemical Structure

2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran CAS 54589-71-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran.

2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran (CAS 54589-71-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H5Cl3O and a molecular weight of 271.53 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 271.53 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 2,4,8-Trichlorodibenzofuran 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.
