S-(2-Chlorocyclohexyl)-N-phenylthiocarbamate, also known as phenylthiocarbamate or thiophencarb, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C13H16ClNOS. It is a white crystalline solid that is primarily used as a pesticide and herbicide in agriculture. The compound is known for its effectiveness in controlling a wide range of pests, including mites, nematodes, and various insects. It works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects. This results in the accumulation of acetylcholine, leading to paralysis and death of the target pests. Due to its broad-spectrum activity and relatively low mammalian toxicity, it has been widely used in various crops to protect them from damage caused by pests. However, its use has been restricted or banned in some countries due to concerns about its potential environmental impact and persistence in the soil.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5772-97-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,7,7 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5772-97: (6*5)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*2)+(2*9)+(1*7)=124 124 % 10 = 4 So 5772-97-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
