Chemical Structure

1,2,4,6-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran CAS 71998-73-7 chemical structure

Description

1,2,4,6-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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
