Hexachlor(trifluormethyl)cyclohexan, also known as Lindane, is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6Cl6. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly toxic and was once widely used as an insecticide, particularly for treating lice and scabies. Lindane is a cyclohexane molecule with six chlorine atoms and one trifluoromethyl group attached. Due to its persistence in the environment and potential health risks, including neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The chemical's stability and lipophilic nature contribute to its persistence, making it a concern for environmental and public health.
The CAS Registry Mumber 309-25-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 3,0 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 309-25: (5*3)+(4*0)+(3*9)+(2*2)+(1*5)=51 51 % 10 = 1 So 309-25-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
