(+/-)-3-(2-Methoxy-5-methyl-phenoxy)-butan-2-on, also known as (±)-3-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenoxy)butan-2-one, is a chiral organic compound with the molecular formula C11H14O3. It features a butan-2-one (ketone) core, with a 2-methoxy-5-methylphenoxy group attached to the third carbon. (+/-)-3-(2-Methoxy-5-methyl-phenoxy)-butan-2-on is characterized by its chiral center, which results in two enantiomeric forms, hence the (+/-) notation. The presence of the methoxy and methyl groups on the phenoxy ring contributes to its unique chemical properties and potential applications in various fields, such as pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, where stereochemistry plays a crucial role in biological activity.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4138-73-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,1,3 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 3 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4138-73: (6*4)+(5*1)+(4*3)+(3*8)+(2*7)+(1*3)=82 82 % 10 = 2 So 4138-73-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
