1-p-Tolyl-3,4-dihydro-benzo[a]anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the chemical formula C22H18. It is a derivative of benzo[a]anthracene, featuring a tolyl group (a methyl group attached to a benzene ring) at the 1-position and a saturated ring between carbons 3 and 4. 1-p-Tolyl-3,4-dihydro-benzo[a]anthracene is known for its potential carcinogenic properties, as it can undergo metabolic activation to form reactive intermediates that can bind to DNA, potentially leading to mutations. It is also a component of complex mixtures found in environmental and industrial settings, such as coal tar and tobacco smoke. Due to its structural similarity to other PAHs, it shares some of the same toxicological concerns, although its specific effects may vary.
The CAS Registry Mumber 29568-50-1 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 2,9,5,6 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 29568-50: (7*2)+(6*9)+(5*5)+(4*6)+(3*8)+(2*5)+(1*0)=151 151 % 10 = 1 So 29568-50-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
