Bis-<4-(4-methyl-benzyliden)-butyryl>-peroxid, also known as bis(4-(4-methylbenzylidene)butyryl) peroxide, is a complex organic compound with the chemical formula C20H22O4. It is a type of peroxide, which means it contains an oxygen-oxygen single bond, and is characterized by its potential to act as a radical initiator or a cross-linking agent in various chemical reactions. Bis-<4-(4-methyl-benzyliden)-butyryl>-peroxid is derived from butyric acid, with each butyryl group being modified by a 4-methylbenzyliden substituent. Due to the presence of the peroxide linkage, it is sensitive to heat and shock, and thus requires careful handling. It is commonly used in the polymer industry, particularly in the production of cross-linked polymers, and can also be found in applications such as adhesives and sealants where its cross-linking properties are beneficial.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5724-00-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,7,2 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5724-00: (6*5)+(5*7)+(4*2)+(3*4)+(2*0)+(1*0)=85 85 % 10 = 5 So 5724-00-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
