(1R)-O-Picryl-menthol is a chiral compound derived from menthol, a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol found in peppermint oil. It is characterized by the presence of a picryl group (2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) attached to the hydroxyl group of menthol, which is located at the 1R position. (1R)-O-picryl-menthol is often used in organic chemistry as a chiral auxiliary or a resolving agent for the separation of enantiomers due to its ability to form diastereomers with other chiral molecules. The picryl group provides a significant difference in physical properties, such as solubility and melting point, between the diastereomers, facilitating their separation. (1R)-O-Picryl-menthol is also employed in the study of stereochemistry and as a tool in the synthesis of optically active compounds.
The CAS Registry Mumber 36384-72-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 3,6,3,8 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 2 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 36384-72: (7*3)+(6*6)+(5*3)+(4*8)+(3*4)+(2*7)+(1*2)=132 132 % 10 = 2 So 36384-72-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
