Tris-(2'-tolyl)-methyl-phosphonium, also known as tris(2-methylphenyl)methylphosphonium, is a phosphonium compound with the chemical formula C21H23P. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. Tris-<2'-tolyl>-methyl-phosphonium is widely used in various applications, including as a phase-transfer catalyst, a reagent in organic synthesis, and a precursor for the preparation of other phosphonium salts. Its structure consists of a central carbon atom bonded to three 2-methylphenyl groups and a phosphonium ion, which contributes to its unique chemical properties and reactivity.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6163-59-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,1,6 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6163-59: (6*6)+(5*1)+(4*6)+(3*3)+(2*5)+(1*9)=93 93 % 10 = 3 So 6163-59-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
