3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propane-1,2-diyl diacetate, also known as 2,3,5-trichlorophenoxypropane-1,2-diyl diacetate, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C12H12Cl3O4. It is a derivative of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), where two acetate groups are attached to the propane-1,2-diyl moiety. 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propane-1,2-diyl diacetate has been used as a herbicide, specifically as a selective agent for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops. It works by mimicking the action of plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and ultimately the death of the weed. However, due to concerns over its potential environmental and health impacts, including its persistence in the environment and potential to contaminate water sources, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The compound is also a precursor to the production of the controversial herbicide 2,4,5-T, which was a component of Agent Orange used during the Vietnam War.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6302-56-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,3,0 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6302-56: (6*6)+(5*3)+(4*0)+(3*2)+(2*5)+(1*6)=73 73 % 10 = 3 So 6302-56-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
