Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 540-13-6 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,4 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 540-13:
(5*5)+(4*4)+(3*0)+(2*1)+(1*3)=46
46 % 10 = 6
So 540-13-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Concise synthesis of ximenynic acid
Wang, Lutai,Li, Jiabin,Xue, Xiaowen
experimental part, p. 3540 - 3543 (2012/10/08)
An improved synthesis of ximenynic acid (1) starting from castor oil has been developed with the direct chlorination of ricinstearolic acid as the key step. By this modification, the synthetic route was more concise and economic. The separation of geometr
