Acetamide, N,N-diethyl-2-mercapto-, also known as N,N-Diethylthioacetamide or DETA, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H13NOS. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. DETA is a derivative of acetamide, where a thiol group (-SH) is attached to the carbonyl carbon, and two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) are attached to the nitrogen atom. Acetamide, N,N-diethyl-2-mercapto- is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various sulfur-containing compounds and as a building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is also used as a vulcanization accelerator in the rubber industry. Due to its potential health risks and environmental concerns, proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed when working with this chemical.
The CAS Registry Mumber 996-86-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 9,9 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 996-86: (5*9)+(4*9)+(3*6)+(2*8)+(1*6)=121 121 % 10 = 1 So 996-86-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
