Glycine, N-(carboxymethyl)-N-hexadecyl-, also known as hexadecyl-N-carboxymethylglycine or hexadecyl-N-(3-carboxypropanoyl)glycine, is a synthetic amphoteric surfactant with the chemical formula C25H49NO4. It is a derivative of glycine, an amino acid, with a long-chain alkyl group (hexadecyl) attached to the nitrogen atom and a carboxymethyl group attached to the carboxyl group. Glycine, N-(carboxymethyl)-N-hexadecyl- exhibits both cationic and anionic properties, making it useful in various applications such as detergents, emulsifiers, and foaming agents. Its amphoteric nature allows it to function effectively in a wide range of pH levels, making it a versatile chemical in the field of surfactants.
The CAS Registry Mumber 3775-52-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,7,7 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 2 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3775-52: (6*3)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*5)+(2*5)+(1*2)=108 108 % 10 = 8 So 3775-52-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
