(+/-)-Threo-2,3-epoxy-octadecanoic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound with the molecular formula C18H34O3. It is a chiral molecule, meaning it has two enantiomeric forms, which are mirror images of each other. The "threo" prefix indicates the relative configuration of the hydroxyl groups on the epoxy ring. (+/-)-threo-2,3-epoxy-octadecanoic acid is a derivative of octadecanoic acid, a long-chain fatty acid, with an epoxy group (a three-membered ring containing an oxygen atom) attached to the 2nd and 3rd carbon atoms. It is found in various plants and has been studied for its potential biological activities, such as antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The compound's structure and properties make it an interesting subject for research in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4444-84-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,4,4 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4444-84: (6*4)+(5*4)+(4*4)+(3*4)+(2*8)+(1*4)=92 92 % 10 = 2 So 4444-84-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
