Benzoic acid, 5-bromo-2-[(carboxymethyl)seleno]-, also known as 5-bromosalicylic acid selenoester, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H6BrO4Se. It is a derivative of benzoic acid, featuring a bromine atom at the 5th position, a selenoester group (-Se-COOH) at the 2nd position, and a carboxymethyl group attached to the selenium atom. Benzoic acid, 5-bromo-2-[(carboxymethyl)seleno]- is of interest in the field of organoselenium chemistry, potentially for its unique reactivity and properties. It may be used in the synthesis of various organoselenium compounds or as a building block in the development of new materials or pharmaceuticals. The presence of both bromine and selenium atoms in the molecule suggests that it could have specific applications in areas where these elements confer particular chemical or biological activities.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6455-01-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,4,5 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6455-01: (6*6)+(5*4)+(4*5)+(3*5)+(2*0)+(1*1)=92 92 % 10 = 2 So 6455-01-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
