1,5,1',5'-tetranitro-3,3'-methanediyl-bis-[1,3,5]triazepane, also known as HMTD (Hexamethylene Triperoxide Diamine), is a highly explosive and sensitive organic compound. It is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula C6H12N8O4. HMTD is formed by the condensation of two 1,3,5-triazine molecules with a methanediyl bridge and four nitro groups. Due to its high sensitivity to shock, friction, and heat, it is considered a dangerous and unstable explosive. HMTD has been used in the past for military and terrorist activities, but its production and possession are now strictly controlled and regulated in many countries. The compound is also known for its potential use in the synthesis of other explosives and as a research tool in the field of high-energy materials.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5790-73-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,7,9 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 3 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5790-73: (6*5)+(5*7)+(4*9)+(3*0)+(2*7)+(1*3)=118 118 % 10 = 8 So 5790-73-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
