Chemical Structure

2-(1-Chloroethyl)anthracene CAS 57323-33-8 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 2-(1-Chloroethyl)anthracene (C16H13Cl) contains chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 240.73 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).
