4-xanthen-9-ylidenemethyl-phenol, also known as fluorescein or 3',6'-dihydroxyspiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9'-[9H]xanthen]-3-one, is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its bright yellow color and strong fluorescence properties. It is widely used as a pH indicator, with a color change from yellow to red as the pH increases from 6.0 to 7.4. Additionally, fluorescein is employed as a tracer in various applications, including water quality monitoring, medical diagnostics, and biological research. Its chemical structure consists of a xanthene core with two hydroxyl groups at the 3' and 6' positions, and a phenolic group attached to the 4-position. The compound's unique properties make it a valuable tool in a range of scientific and industrial fields.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2961-55-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,9,6 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2961-55: (6*2)+(5*9)+(4*6)+(3*1)+(2*5)+(1*5)=99 99 % 10 = 9 So 2961-55-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
