Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 59-85-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. 4-CHLOROMERCURIBENZOIC ACID can be used to inhibit some enzymes that require unmodified cysteine residues (e.g., adenylyl cyclase).
2. A useful sulfhydryl reagent that reacts with Histidine 225C, a residue of the NhaA-Na/H Antiporter of Escherichia Coli
3. Can be used to inhibit some enzymes that require unmodified cysteine residues (e.g., adenylyl cyclase).

Purification Methods
Its suspension in water is stirred with enough 1M NaOH to dissolve most of it: a small amount of insoluble matter is removed by centrifugation. The chloromercuribenzoic acid is then precipitated by adding 1M HCl and centrifuged off. The precipitation is repeated twice. Finally, the precipitate is washed three times with distilled water (by centrifugation), then dried in a thin layer under vacuum over P2O5 [Boyer J Am Chem Soc 76 4331 1954]. Chloromethylphosphonic acid dichloride [1983 -26 -2] M 167.4, b 50o/0.5mm, 52 -53(59)o/2mm, 63-65o/3mm, 78 -79o/10mm, 87 -88o/15mm, 102-103o/30mm, d 4 1.638, n D 1.4971. It is fractionally distilled using a short Claisen column and redistilled. The aniline salt has m 199-201o. The 3 1P NMR has a single peak at -38±2 ppm from 85% H3PO4.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 59-85-8 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 5 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 59-85:
(4*5)+(3*9)+(2*8)+(1*5)=68
68 % 10 = 8
So 59-85-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
