Thiobenzoic acid S-(1-piperidinylmethyl) ester, also known as Thiopental, is a barbiturate derivative primarily used as an intravenous anesthetic. It is a white, crystalline powder with the chemical formula C12H15NO2S. Thiopental is a short-acting anesthetic that works by depressing the central nervous system, leading to a loss of consciousness and amnesia. It is commonly used in medical procedures such as induction of anesthesia, diagnostic and surgical procedures, and as a component of the "three-drug cocktail" used in lethal injections. The ester is known for its rapid onset and short duration of action, making it a preferred choice in certain medical settings. However, due to its potential for abuse and the availability of newer anesthetics, its use has declined in recent years.
The CAS Registry Mumber 782-50-3 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 7,8 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 782-50: (5*7)+(4*8)+(3*2)+(2*5)+(1*0)=83 83 % 10 = 3 So 782-50-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
