Phenyl-propionyl-carbamic acid isopropyl ester, also known as aldicarb, is a synthetic organophosphorus compound primarily used as an insecticide. It is a colorless, odorless, and crystalline solid with the chemical formula C7H14NO4PS. Aldicarb is highly toxic to both insects and mammals, acting as a nerve agent by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system and causing paralysis and death. Due to its high toxicity, aldicarb is classified as a restricted-use pesticide in many countries, and its use is limited to specific applications where other less toxic alternatives are not effective. It is important to handle aldicarb with extreme caution and follow proper safety measures to minimize exposure and potential health risks.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5833-37-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,8,3 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5833-37: (6*5)+(5*8)+(4*3)+(3*3)+(2*3)+(1*7)=104 104 % 10 = 4 So 5833-37-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
