Benzenemethanol, R-ethylidene-, also known as (R)-1-phenylpropan-1-ol or (R)-α-methylbenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C9H12O. It is a chiral molecule, meaning it has a non-superimposable mirror image, and is one of the two enantiomers of α-methylbenzyl alcohol. Benzenemethanol,R-ethylidene- is a colorless liquid with a distinct aromatic odor and is soluble in organic solvents. It is synthesized through various methods, such as the reduction of acetophenone or the condensation of benzyl alcohol with ethylmagnesium bromide. Benzenemethanol, R-ethylidene-, has applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, particularly as a building block for the synthesis of various chiral compounds and as a fragrance ingredient.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4397-07-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,3,9 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4397-07: (6*4)+(5*3)+(4*9)+(3*7)+(2*0)+(1*7)=103 103 % 10 = 3 So 4397-07-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
