Methyl-<4-chlor-2,5-difluor-phenyl>-carbinol, also known as 4-chloro-2,5-difluorophenylmethylcarbinol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H7ClF2O. It is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of 200.59 g/mol. Methyl-<4-chlor-2,5-difluor-phenyl>-carbinol is characterized by the presence of a methyl group (CH3) attached to a phenyl ring, which is substituted with a chlorine atom at the 4th position, and two fluorine atoms at the 2nd and 5th positions. The hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the carbon atom (carbinol) that is directly connected to the phenyl ring. Methyl-<4-chlor-2,5-difluor-phenyl>-carbinol is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the production of selective herbicides and other specialty chemicals. Its unique structure with halogenated substituents contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in chemical research and development.
The CAS Registry Mumber 655-11-8 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 6,5 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 655-11: (5*6)+(4*5)+(3*5)+(2*1)+(1*1)=68 68 % 10 = 8 So 655-11-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
