2-Bromoethyl diethyl phosphate (2-BrEtDEP) is an organophosphorus compound that serves as a chemical warfare agent. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a garlic-like odor and is highly toxic, primarily targeting the nervous system. 2-BrEtDEP inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft, which disrupts normal nerve impulse transmission and results in a range of symptoms including muscle twitching, seizures, and respiratory failure. Due to its high toxicity and potential for misuse, 2-BrEtDEP is strictly regulated under international chemical weapons conventions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5314-05-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,3,1 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5314-05: (6*5)+(5*3)+(4*1)+(3*4)+(2*0)+(1*5)=66 66 % 10 = 6 So 5314-05-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
