(1S,8S)-2-oxo-trans-p-menthan-9-al, also known as carvone, is a monoterpene ketone with a molecular formula of C10H14O. It is an organic compound derived from the essential oil of plants such as caraway, dill, and spearmint. Carvone is a chiral molecule, existing in two enantiomeric forms: (R)-carvone and (S)-carvone. The (R)-enantiomer has a dextrorotatory effect, while the (S)-enantiomer exhibits a levorotatory effect. Carvone is known for its distinct aroma and is widely used in the food and fragrance industries as a flavoring agent and a natural alternative to synthetic compounds. It is also recognized for its potential antimicrobial properties and is being studied for its possible applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
The CAS Registry Mumber 99180-97-9 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 9,9,1,8 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 99180-97: (7*9)+(6*9)+(5*1)+(4*8)+(3*0)+(2*9)+(1*7)=179 179 % 10 = 9 So 99180-97-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
