1,4-bis-ethoxymethylen-2,3-butanedione, also known as diethyl acetonedicarboxylate or DEEM, is a colorless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula C8H14O5. It is a diester derived from 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl) and ethanol, featuring two ethoxymethyl groups attached to the 1,4-positions of the butanedione backbone. DEEM is primarily used as a solvent, plasticizer, and intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and polymers. It is known for its low toxicity, high boiling point, and excellent solubility properties, making it a versatile compound in the chemical industry.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2383-98-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,3,8 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2383-98: (6*2)+(5*3)+(4*8)+(3*3)+(2*9)+(1*8)=94 94 % 10 = 4 So 2383-98-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
