Mercury(II) chloride, also known as mercuric chloride, is a chemical compound with the formula HgCl2. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly toxic and soluble in water. Mercury(II) chloride is a strong electrolyte, dissociating into Hg2+ and 2Cl- ions in aqueous solution. It has been historically used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, and in the production of other mercury compounds. However, due to its extreme toxicity and potential for environmental contamination, its use has been largely discontinued in many applications. Mercury(II) chloride is also known for its ability to denature proteins, which is why it was once used in biological research. It is important to handle this compound with extreme care due to its potential health risks and environmental impact.

7487-94-7 Usage

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 7487-94-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,4,8 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7487-94:
(6*7)+(5*4)+(4*8)+(3*7)+(2*9)+(1*4)=137
137 % 10 = 7
So 7487-94-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Process for the preparation of 3-phenoxybenzenes

-

, (2008/06/13)

3-Phenoxybenzene derivatives are prepared by a method which comprises the steps of(a) chlorinating benzaldehyde with chlorine gas in the presence of a hydrocarbon and a Lewis acid catalyst to obtain 3-chlorobenzaldehyde; (b) reacting the 3-chlorobenzaldehyde with ethylene glycol to obtain 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolane; (c) etherifying said dioxolane with an alkali phenolate to yield the intermediate 2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxolane and converting this intermediate to the corresponding aldehyde, cyanohydrin, sulfonic acid salt or oxime derivative.
