3,6-Dibenzofurandiol, also known as 3,6-dihydroxybenzofuran, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H6O3. It is a derivative of benzofuran, a heterocyclic aromatic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a furan ring. This white crystalline solid is characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl functional groups attached to the 3rd and 6th carbon atoms of the benzofuran structure. 3,6-Dibenzofurandiol has potential applications in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals due to its unique chemical properties and reactivity. It is typically synthesized through various chemical reactions, such as the condensation of salicylaldehyde with itself in the presence of an acid catalyst or the reduction of 3,6-dibenzofurandione.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5914-48-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,9,1 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5914-48: (6*5)+(5*9)+(4*1)+(3*4)+(2*4)+(1*8)=107 107 % 10 = 7 So 5914-48-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
