Chlor-dimethylamino-methylthio-methylium-chlorid, also known as chlormequat chloride, is a quaternary ammonium compound with the chemical formula C5H12ClN. It is a plant growth regulator primarily used in agriculture to control plant height and lodging in various crops, such as cereals, potatoes, and sugar beets. Chlormequat chloride works by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, which in turn reduces stem elongation and promotes stronger, more robust plants. It is typically applied as a foliar spray or soil drench, and its use is regulated in many countries due to potential environmental and health concerns.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5829-62-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,8,2 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 2 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5829-62: (6*5)+(5*8)+(4*2)+(3*9)+(2*6)+(1*2)=119 119 % 10 = 9 So 5829-62-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
