Phenol, 2,2'-methylenebis[4-methyl-, diacetate, also known as bisphenol A diacetate, is a chemical compound derived from bisphenol A (BPA). It is a white crystalline solid with the molecular formula C17H20O4 and a molecular weight of 288.34 g/mol. Phenol, 2,2'-methylenebis[4-methyl-, diacetate is formed by the reaction of bisphenol A with acetic anhydride, resulting in the acetylation of the two hydroxyl groups present in bisphenol A. Bisphenol A diacetate is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are widely used in various applications such as food packaging, water bottles, and dental sealants. However, due to concerns over its potential health effects, particularly its estrogen-mimicking properties, the use of bisphenol A and its derivatives has been restricted or banned in some countries.
The CAS Registry Mumber 7595-35-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,5,9 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7595-35: (6*7)+(5*5)+(4*9)+(3*5)+(2*3)+(1*5)=129 129 % 10 = 9 So 7595-35-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
