2,8-Dichlorodibenzofuran is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of two benzene rings fused to a furan ring, with chlorine substituents at the 2 and 8 positions of the dibenzofuran framework. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is known for its stability and resistance to degradation. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which makes it relevant in various chemical applications. 2,8-Dichlorodibenzofuran is of interest in environmental chemistry due to its potential presence as a pollutant and its implications in toxicology, particularly concerning its persistence in the environment and bioaccumulation in living organisms. The compound may exhibit biological activity, and its chlorinated structure suggests potential interactions with biological systems, warranting further investigation into its environmental impact and health effects. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as chlorinated compounds can pose risks to human health and the environment.

2,8-Dichlorodibenzofuran is a chlorinated aromatic compound that is used as a monomer in the production of polymers. It has been shown to be photodegradable and dechlorinated to 2,6-dichlorobenzene and dichloroacetic acid. Polychlorinated dibenzofurans have been found in human adipose tissue, but have not been detected in the environment. The yields of 2,8-dichlorodibenzofuran are high and constant under pressure conditions up to 1200 psi (827 kPa), with a maximum yield of 90%. The structure of 2,8-dichlorodibenzofuran has been postulated to be formed by two successive steps: firstly, chlorination followed by hydroxylation.
