Menthol is widely used in various applications, such as in pharmaceuticals for topical pain relief, in confectionery for its cooling sensation, and in cosmetics for its fragrance. The compound's structure, with three chiral centers, results in eight possible stereoisomers, but only the (1RS,3SR,5RS) configuration is responsible for the characteristic properties of menthol.
The CAS Registry Mumber 10488-13-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,0,4,8 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 3 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 10488-13: (7*1)+(6*0)+(5*4)+(4*8)+(3*8)+(2*1)+(1*3)=88 88 % 10 = 8 So 10488-13-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
