Urea, N,N-dimethyl-N'-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)-, also known as bis(N,N-dimethylamino)-1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethane or DMDT, is an organochlorine compound with the chemical formula C5H8Cl4N2. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water. DMDT was primarily used as a soil fumigant to control nematodes, fungi, and insects in agricultural and horticultural applications. However, due to its potential health risks and environmental persistence, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The chemical is known to be toxic to humans and animals, causing adverse effects on the nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Additionally, DMDT can contaminate soil and water, posing risks to non-target organisms and the ecosystem.
The CAS Registry Mumber 53376-34-4 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,3,3,7 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 53376-34: (7*5)+(6*3)+(5*3)+(4*7)+(3*6)+(2*3)+(1*4)=124 124 % 10 = 4 So 53376-34-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
