Methane, dibromomethoxy-, also known as bromoform, is a halogenated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CHBr3. It is a colorless, heavy, and oily liquid with a sweet, ethereal odor. Bromoform is a derivative of methane, where two hydrogen atoms are replaced by bromine atoms, and one hydrogen atom is replaced by a hydroxyl group. It is a polar molecule due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which makes it soluble in water. Bromoform has been historically used as a sedative, an antiseptic, and a solvent, but its use has been largely discontinued due to its toxicity and potential carcinogenic properties. It is also an important intermediate in the production of various organic compounds and is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
The CAS Registry Mumber 3492-44-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,4,9 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3492-44: (6*3)+(5*4)+(4*9)+(3*2)+(2*4)+(1*4)=92 92 % 10 = 2 So 3492-44-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
