2-Fluoroacetic acid is a toxic, naturally occurring organic compound with the chemical formula C2H3FO2. It is a fluorinated derivative of acetic acid, where one hydrogen atom is replaced by a fluorine atom. 2-fluoroacetic acid is highly toxic to humans and animals, as it inhibits the enzyme aconitase, leading to the disruption of the citric acid cycle and ultimately causing cell death. Due to its toxicity, 2-fluoroacetic acid has been considered as a potential chemical warfare agent and is classified as a Schedule 3 chemical weapon precursor under the Chemical Weapons Convention. It is also found in some plants and can be produced by certain fungi, posing a risk to livestock and wildlife that consume these plants.
The CAS Registry Mumber 9074-77-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 9,0,7 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 9074-77: (6*9)+(5*0)+(4*7)+(3*4)+(2*7)+(1*7)=115 115 % 10 = 5 So 9074-77-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
