Diethyl ether, also known as ethyl ether or simply ether, is an organic compound with the chemical formula (C2H5)2O. It is a colorless, volatile, and highly flammable liquid that is widely used as a solvent and anesthetic. When diethyl ether reacts with bromine, a halogen, it forms a compound known as dibromodiethyl ether, with the chemical formula C4H10Br2O. This reaction typically occurs through a halogenation process, where bromine atoms replace hydrogen atoms in the diethyl ether molecule. Dibromodiethyl ether is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds and can also be employed as a solvent or a reagent in chemical reactions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 5954-46-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,9,5 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5954-46: (6*5)+(5*9)+(4*5)+(3*4)+(2*4)+(1*6)=121 121 % 10 = 1 So 5954-46-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
