Erythro-2,3-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid, also known as erythro-2,3-dihydroxy-16-carbon acid, is a naturally occurring organic compound with the molecular formula C16H32O4. It is a type of dihydroxy fatty acid, characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups at the 2nd and 3rd carbon positions in a 16-carbon fatty acid chain. erythro-2,3-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid is an isomer of the more common threo-2,3-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid, differing in the spatial arrangement of the hydroxyl groups. Erythro-2,3-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid plays a role in various biological processes, such as cell membrane structure and function, and is found in some plants and microorganisms. Its unique structure and properties make it a subject of interest in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical research.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2765-08-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,7,6 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2765-08: (6*2)+(5*7)+(4*6)+(3*5)+(2*0)+(1*8)=94 94 % 10 = 4 So 2765-08-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
