Benzene, 1,3,5-trimethoxy-2-(1-propenyl)-, (Z)-, also known as safrole, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H12O3. It is a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a strong, sweet odor. Safrole is a chiral molecule, and the (Z)-isomer is the one being referred to here. It is a naturally occurring compound found in the essential oils of several plants, such as Sassafras albidum and Ocotea pretiosa. Safrole has been used as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of certain drugs, but its use has been restricted due to its potential carcinogenic properties and its conversion to the psychoactive drug MDMA (ecstasy) in illegal drug manufacturing processes.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5273-95-0 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,2,7 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5273-95: (6*5)+(5*2)+(4*7)+(3*3)+(2*9)+(1*5)=100 100 % 10 = 0 So 5273-95-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
