(+/-)-p-Menth-4-en-3-one-(2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazone) is a chemical compound derived from p-menth-4-en-3-one, a monoterpene ketone found in essential oils of plants like peppermint and dill. The compound is formed by the reaction of p-menth-4-en-3-one with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, resulting in the formation of a hydrazone derivative. This chemical modification is often used in analytical chemistry for the detection and identification of carbonyl compounds, as hydrazones are more stable and easier to handle than the original ketones. The resulting compound has a molecular formula of C15H21N3O4 and is characterized by its yellow color and crystalline structure. It is used in various applications, including the determination of the optical purity of chiral compounds and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
The CAS Registry Mumber 7599-85-1 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 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7599-85: (6*7)+(5*5)+(4*9)+(3*9)+(2*8)+(1*5)=151 151 % 10 = 1 So 7599-85-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
