4,6-Heptadiynoic acid, methyl ester is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H10O2. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. 4,6-Heptadiynoic acid, methyl ester is characterized by the presence of a heptadiynoic acid backbone, which consists of a seven-carbon chain with two triple bonds, and a methyl ester group attached to the carboxylic acid functionality. The triple bonds confer a degree of unsaturation and reactivity to the molecule, which can be exploited in various chemical reactions. It is synthesized by esterification of 4,6-heptadiynoic acid with methanol and is used in the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals and as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Due to its reactivity, it is typically handled with care in a controlled laboratory environment.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4161-59-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,1,6 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4161-59: (6*4)+(5*1)+(4*6)+(3*1)+(2*5)+(1*9)=75 75 % 10 = 5 So 4161-59-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
