3.4-Seco-5β-cholestanedioic acid-(3.4) is a steroidal compound derived from the cholesterol molecule, characterized by the presence of a seco-structure, which means it has undergone a ring-opening reaction, and a diacid functionality. This modification results in the loss of a carbon-carbon bond between carbons 3 and 4, leading to the formation of a six-membered ring that is "broken" or "seco" at this position. The 5β-cholestanedioic acid part of the name indicates that the compound has two carboxylic acid groups and that the hydroxyl group at the 5 position is in the β-configuration. 3.4-seco-5β-cholestanedioic acid-(3.4) is of interest in the field of organic chemistry, particularly in the study of steroidal structures and their derivatives, and may have applications in pharmaceuticals or as a chemical intermediate.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1177-97-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,1,7 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1177-97: (6*1)+(5*1)+(4*7)+(3*7)+(2*9)+(1*7)=85 85 % 10 = 5 So 1177-97-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
