521-40-4 Usage
Description
Wrede has obtained this alkaloid from the seed capsules of Papaver somniferum.
It crystallizes from aqueous MeOH in colourless rectangular rods and has [0:]5° -
189° (CHCI3) and + 5.8° (c 0.1 NiHCI). One phenolic hydroxyl group is present
in the molecule and the base forms the O-acetate, m.p. 208-9°C, giving a hydro_x0002_chloride as the monohydrate, m.p. 230-3°C (dry); [0:]5° + 94.8° (H 20). The
acid tartrate forms colourless needles which, decompose at 190-205°C and the
picrolonate has m.p. 202-3°C. On treatment with CH2N2, the alkaloid gives
Narcotine (q.v.).
Uses
Desmethylnarcotine is an impurity of Narcotoline an opiate alkaloid and a structure analogue of Nascapine (N882000), an antitussive agent. Noscapine (N882000) metabolite.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 521-40-4 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,2 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 521-40:
(5*5)+(4*2)+(3*1)+(2*4)+(1*0)=44
44 % 10 = 4
So 521-40-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
