Hexa-(α-brom-propyl)-benzol, also known as 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethylbenzene hexabromide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C18H24Br6. It is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Hexa-(α-brom-propyl)-benzol is synthesized by reacting benzene with α-bromopropyl bromide in the presence of a catalyst, such as aluminum bromide. Hexa-(α-brom-propyl)-benzol is primarily used as a flame retardant in various applications, including plastics, textiles, and coatings, due to its ability to slow down the spread of fire. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the production of other brominated compounds. However, due to its potential environmental and health concerns, its use is being phased out in some regions in favor of more eco-friendly alternatives.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5223-67-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,2,2 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5223-67: (6*5)+(5*2)+(4*2)+(3*3)+(2*6)+(1*7)=76 76 % 10 = 6 So 5223-67-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
