Magnesium, chloro[(2-propenyloxy)methyl]-, also known as chloromethyl(2-propenyloxy)magnesium, is an organomagnesium compound with the chemical formula C4H7ClMgO. It is a colorless, highly reactive liquid that is sensitive to air and moisture. Magnesium, chloro[(2-propenyloxy)methyl]- is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of Grignard reagents, which are crucial for various carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Due to its high reactivity, it must be handled under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, to prevent unwanted side reactions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 821-49-8 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 8,2 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 9 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 821-49: (5*8)+(4*2)+(3*1)+(2*4)+(1*9)=68 68 % 10 = 8 So 821-49-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
