3-O-methyl-D-glucitol, also known as 3-O-methyl-D-sorbitol, is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol derived from D-glucitol (also known as sorbitol). It is a white crystalline solid with a sweet taste and is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. 3-O-methyl-D-glucitol is formed by the methylation of the hydroxyl group at the third carbon position of D-glucitol, resulting in a molecule that has one less hydroxyl group and one additional methyl group compared to its parent compound. 3-O-methyl-D-glucitol is known for its low caloric value, non-cariogenic properties, and ability to act as a humectant, which makes it a popular ingredient in sugar-free confectionery, toothpaste, and pharmaceutical formulations. It is also used as a stabilizer and bulking agent in various products.
The CAS Registry Mumber 3969-68-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,9,6 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3969-68: (6*3)+(5*9)+(4*6)+(3*9)+(2*6)+(1*8)=134 134 % 10 = 4 So 3969-68-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
