Fluoro-acetic acid-(β-chloro-isopropyl ester), also known as FCIE, is a highly toxic organofluorine compound with the chemical formula C4H6ClFO2. It is a colorless, oily liquid that is soluble in water and organic solvents. FCIE is a potent metabolic poison that acts by inhibiting the enzyme aconitase, leading to the disruption of the citric acid cycle and ultimately causing cell death. Due to its high toxicity, it has been used as a rodenticide and pesticide, although its use has been restricted or banned in many countries due to its potential harm to non-target species and the environment. The compound is also of interest in chemical research and has been studied for its potential applications in the synthesis of other fluorinated compounds.
The CAS Registry Mumber 352-78-3 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 3,5 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 352-78: (5*3)+(4*5)+(3*2)+(2*7)+(1*8)=63 63 % 10 = 3 So 352-78-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
