Fluoro-acetic acid isobutyl ester, also known as 2-fluoroacetic acid isobutyl ester, is an organofluorine compound with the chemical formula C6H11FO2. It is a colorless, oily liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. This ester is synthesized by the reaction of fluoroacetic acid with isobutanol and is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of various agrochemicals, particularly as a precursor for the synthesis of fluroxypyr, a herbicide. It is also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. Due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, handling and disposal of fluoro-acetic acid isobutyl ester must be done with caution, adhering to strict safety protocols.
The CAS Registry Mumber 371-45-9 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 3,7 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 371-45: (5*3)+(4*7)+(3*1)+(2*4)+(1*5)=59 59 % 10 = 9 So 371-45-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
