Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7331-03-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,3,3 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7331-03:
(6*7)+(5*3)+(4*3)+(3*1)+(2*0)+(1*3)=75
75 % 10 = 5
So 7331-03-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Synthesis of benzophenone-containing fatty acids
Gan, Yonghong,Wang, Pingzhen,Spencer, Thomas A.
, p. 9487 - 9490 (2007/10/03)
(Chemical Equation Presented) Syntheses of new benzophenone-containing fatty acids (FABPs) 1, 5, and 6 and a new route to FABP 3 are described. Combined with the known 2 and 4, these FABPs comprise a set of photoactivatable fatty acid analogues with the crosslinking site at defined distances from the carboxylic acid hydroxyl group oxygen atoms ranging from 7.9 to 25.0 A.
