Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 42297-40-5 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 4,2,2,9 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 42297-40:
(7*4)+(6*2)+(5*2)+(4*9)+(3*7)+(2*4)+(1*0)=115
115 % 10 = 5
So 42297-40-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Purines. XIV [1]. Synthesis and properties of 8-nitroxanthine and its N- methyl derivatives
Mosselhi,Pfleiderer
, p. 1221 - 1228 (2007/10/02)
Xanthine (1) and its N-methyl derivatives 2-16 have been nitrated to the corresponding 8-nitro derivatives 17-32 under different reaction conditions. Nitration in glacial acetic acid with nitric acid works well with the N-7 unsubstituted and some of the 9-methylxanthines, respectively, whereas the 7- methylxanthine derivatives react best with nitronium tetrafluoroborate in sulfolane or glacial acetic acid. The 8-nitro group can be displaced nucleophilically to form 8-chloro-, 33, 34, 8-ethoxy-, 35, 36, and uric acid derivatives 37-40, respectively. The newly synthesized 8-nitroxanthines have been characterized by elemental analyses, pK-determinations and uv and 1H- nmr spectra.
