Octanoic acid, 2,4,6-trimethyl-, methyl ester, (2R,4R,6R)- is a specific isomer of a naturally occurring organic compound, also known as (2R,4R,6R)-2,4,6-trimethyloctanoic acid methyl ester. This ester is derived from octanoic acid, an eight-carbon fatty acid, with three methyl groups attached at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th carbon positions. The methyl ester is formed by the esterification of the carboxylic acid group with methanol, resulting in a compound that is widely used in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its pleasant, fruity aroma. It is also found in various essential oils and can be used as a synthetic substitute for natural extracts. The (2R,4R,6R)- configuration indicates the specific arrangement of the methyl groups around the chiral carbon centers, which is crucial for its chemical properties and applications.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2490-00-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,4,9 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2490-00: (6*2)+(5*4)+(4*9)+(3*0)+(2*0)+(1*0)=68 68 % 10 = 8 So 2490-00-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
