Tetraethyl ethane-1,1-diylbis(phosphonate), also known as 1,1-bis(phosphonomethyl)ethane or 1,1-Ethanediylbis(phosphonic acid), is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula C6H16O6P2. It is a colorless, viscous liquid that is soluble in water and has a molecular weight of 274.14 g/mol. tetraethyl ethane-1,1-diylbis(phosphonate) is primarily used as a scale inhibitor in various industrial applications, such as water treatment, oil and gas production, and cooling systems, due to its ability to chelate metal ions and prevent the formation of scale deposits. It is also used as a flame retardant and a component in some detergents and cleaning agents. The compound is synthesized by reacting ethylene glycol with phosphorus trichloride, followed by hydrolysis and purification.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1779-28-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,7,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1779-28: (6*1)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*2)+(1*8)=108 108 % 10 = 8 So 1779-28-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
