Camphonanic acid, also known as 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, is a naturally occurring monoterpene carboxylic acid found in various plants, particularly in the essential oils of camphor trees (Cinnamomum camphora). It is an important intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances, including the antimalarial drug artemisinin. Camphonanic acid has a unique cyclopropane ring structure, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential applications in the development of new compounds with diverse properties.
The CAS Registry Mumber 464-50-6 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 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 464-50: (5*4)+(4*6)+(3*4)+(2*5)+(1*0)=66 66 % 10 = 6 So 464-50-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
