Benzyl (2-nitrophenyl)carbamate, also known as aldicarb, is a synthetic organophosphorus compound that was once widely used as a systemic insecticide and acaricide. It is characterized by its ability to disrupt the nervous systems of pests, leading to paralysis and death. Aldicarb is known for its high toxicity to both insects and mammals, including humans, and has been associated with severe health risks such as respiratory failure and death. Due to these concerns, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The chemical has a molecular formula of C10H12N2O4 and is classified as a carbamate pesticide, which means it inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system and subsequent overstimulation.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5176-46-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,1,7 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5176-46: (6*5)+(5*1)+(4*7)+(3*6)+(2*4)+(1*6)=95 95 % 10 = 5 So 5176-46-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
