α-(2,4,5-Trichlorphenoxy)-isobuttersaeurechlorid, also known as 2,4,5-T, is a chemical compound with the formula C9H8Cl3O3. It is a derivative of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which was widely used as a herbicide in the past. This chlorinated phenoxy compound was a component of the herbicide Agent Orange, which was used during the Vietnam War for defoliation purposes. 2,4,5-T has been linked to various health issues, including cancer and birth defects, due to its dioxin contamination. As a result, its production and use have been banned or restricted in many countries. The compound is characterized by its ability to inhibit plant growth by mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and ultimately plant death.
The CAS Registry Mumber 99360-98-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 9,9,3,6 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 99360-98: (7*9)+(6*9)+(5*3)+(4*6)+(3*0)+(2*9)+(1*8)=182 182 % 10 = 2 So 99360-98-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
