Hexadecanal oxime, also known as palmitaldehyde oxime, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H31NO. It is derived from hexadecanal, a saturated aldehyde with a 16-carbon chain, and is formed by the reaction of hexadecanal with hydroxylamine. Hexadecanal oxime is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic, fatty odor. It is used in the synthesis of various chemicals, such as surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances, and serves as an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. Due to its amphiphilic nature, hexadecanal oxime has potential applications in the formulation of emulsions and as a precursor for the preparation of chiral ligands in asymmetric synthesis.
The CAS Registry Mumber 629-91-4 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 6,2 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 629-91: (5*6)+(4*2)+(3*9)+(2*9)+(1*1)=84 84 % 10 = 4 So 629-91-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
