Chemical Structure

2,3-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione CAS 84-45-7 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 2,3-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione (CAS 84-45-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H6Cl2O2, MW 277.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,3-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione (C14H6Cl2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 2,3-Dichloroanthracene-9,10-dione 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.
