2,6-Dinitro-4-(1-methyloctyl)-phenol, also known as DNOC, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H21N2O5. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water. DNOC was historically used as a pesticide, particularly for controlling pests in agriculture. However, due to its high toxicity and potential health risks, including carcinogenic properties, its use has been largely discontinued in many countries. The compound is characterized by its two nitro groups at the 2 and 6 positions on the phenol ring and a 1-methyloctyl side chain attached to the 4 position. DNOC's chemical structure and properties make it a potent and dangerous substance, necessitating strict handling and disposal protocols.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4097-46-5 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, 4 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4097-46: (6*4)+(5*0)+(4*9)+(3*7)+(2*4)+(1*6)=95 95 % 10 = 5 So 4097-46-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
