Chemical Structure

2,6-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 605-40-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,6-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,6-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 605-40-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H6Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 277.10 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C14H6Cl2O2, 2,6-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 277.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
