1-Chloromethoxy-2-fluoro-ethane is a halogenated organic compound with the molecular formula C3H5ClFO. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive odor. 1-chloromethoxy-2-fluoro-ethane consists of an ethyl group (C2H5) with a chlorine atom attached to the first carbon, a fluorine atom on the second carbon, and a methoxy group (-OCH3) on the first carbon as well. Due to the presence of both chlorine and fluorine atoms, this chemical exhibits properties of both chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and chloromethoxy compounds. It is primarily used as a solvent, refrigerant, and propellant in various industrial applications. However, it is important to note that the production and use of such compounds have been restricted due to their potential environmental impact, as they can contribute to ozone depletion and global warming.
The CAS Registry Mumber 462-75-9 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 4,6 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 462-75: (5*4)+(4*6)+(3*2)+(2*7)+(1*5)=69 69 % 10 = 9 So 462-75-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
