14868-24-7 Usage
General Description
2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylbutanoic acid is an organic compound categorized as a hydroxy acid. Hydroxy acids are carboxylic acids which have at least one hydroxyl (-OH) group. In this molecule, there are two hydroxyl groups and a methyl (-CH3) group attached to the butanoic acid, thus creating its name. This substance has diverse applications, especially in the medical and cosmetics industries, due to its properties as a hydroxy acid. Not much information is available about the toxicity or environmental effects of this specific compound. Since it's an organic compound, it involves in various metabolic processes when consumed or used. Some people may be allergic to this compound. As an acid, it is predicted to exist predominantly in the protonated form in biological systems, and could potentially cause skin and eye irritation like other acids.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 14868-24-7 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,4,8,6 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 14868-24:
(7*1)+(6*4)+(5*8)+(4*6)+(3*8)+(2*2)+(1*4)=127
127 % 10 = 7
So 14868-24-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
