β-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)ethyl nitrate, also known as TNP-EN, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H6N4O8. It is derived from 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP), a highly explosive and toxic compound, by attaching an ethyl nitrate group to its β-position. This modification results in a compound that is less sensitive to shock and friction compared to TNP, making it potentially useful in the development of more stable explosives. However, due to its nitroaromatic structure, it still possesses hazardous properties, including high reactivity and potential to form dangerous byproducts upon decomposition. As a result, handling and storage of β-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)ethyl nitrate require strict safety measures to prevent accidents and environmental contamination.
The CAS Registry Mumber 88951-77-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 8,8,9,5 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 88951-77: (7*8)+(6*8)+(5*9)+(4*5)+(3*1)+(2*7)+(1*7)=193 193 % 10 = 3 So 88951-77-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
