Purification Methods
It is purified by dissolving the sodium salt [309-43-3] in 10% HCl which precipitates the acid form that is extracted into Et2O. The extract is dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue is then purified by repeated crystallisation from CHCl3. [Buchet & Sandorfy J Phys Chem 88 3274 1984, Beilstein 24 III/IV 2013.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 76-73-3 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 76-73:
(4*7)+(3*6)+(2*7)+(1*3)=63
63 % 10 = 3
So 76-73-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
