Phenol, 2-(1-methylhexyl)-4,6-dinitro-, also known as 2-sec-Hexyl-4,6-dinitrophenol or DNOC, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H16N2O5. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water. DNOC is primarily used as a pesticide, specifically as a contact herbicide and insecticide, due to its ability to disrupt cellular respiration in plants and insects. It was widely used in the past, but its use has been restricted or banned in many countries due to its high toxicity, potential for environmental contamination, and health risks to humans and animals. DNOC is classified as a hazardous substance and is subject to strict regulations regarding its production, use, and disposal.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4097-38-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,0,9 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4097-38: (6*4)+(5*0)+(4*9)+(3*7)+(2*3)+(1*8)=95 95 % 10 = 5 So 4097-38-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
