Pentanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,5,5,5-heptafluoro-4-oxo-, also known as 2,2,3,3,5,5,5-heptafluoropentanoic acid or HFPA, is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C5HF7O2. It is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid, characterized by the presence of seven fluorine atoms and a carbonyl group. HFPA is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is soluble in water and organic solvents. It is used in various applications, including the production of surfactants, polymers, and as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other perfluorinated compounds. Due to its unique properties, such as high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low surface tension, HFPA has found use in industries like electronics, textiles, and firefighting foams. However, concerns about its environmental persistence and potential health risks have led to regulations and restrictions on its use in some regions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 4796-91-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,7,9 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4796-91: (6*4)+(5*7)+(4*9)+(3*6)+(2*9)+(1*1)=132 132 % 10 = 2 So 4796-91-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
