Screenshot of the CAS Common Chemistry database with information about caffeine ().. A CAS Registry Number [1] (also referred to as CAS RN [2] or informally CAS Number) is a unique identification number, assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in the US to every chemical substance described in the open scientific literature, in order to index the substance in the CAS Registry.
This is a list of CAS numbers by chemical formulas and chemical compounds, indexed by formula.The CAS number is a unique number applied to a specific chemical by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS).This list complements alternative listings to be found at list of inorganic compounds and glossary of chemical formulae
[2] [3] The sequence information comes from CAS and GenBank, produced by the National Institutes of Health. The chemical information is produced by CAS, and is prepared by the CAS Registry System, which identifies each compound with a specific CAS registry number, index name, and graphic representation of its chemical structure.
The International Chemical Identifier (InChI, pronounced / ˈ ɪ n tʃ iː / IN-chee) [3] is a textual identifier for chemical substances, designed to provide a standard way to encode molecular information and to facilitate the search for such information in databases and on the web.
Chemical formula Synonyms CAS number Ac 2 O 3: actinium(III) oxide: 12002-61-8 AgBF 4: Silver tetrafluoroborate: 14104-20-2 AgBr: silver bromide: 7785-23-1 AgBrO: silver hypobromite
The relationship between a CAS Registry Number and an INCI name is not always one-to-one. In some cases, more than one INCI name may have the same CAS number, or more than one CAS number may apply to an INCI name. For example, the CAS number 1245638-61-2 has the CA Index Name of 2-Propenoic acid, reaction products with pentaerythritol.

To be more specific, the name may need to represent the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms. This requires adding more rules to the standard IUPAC system (the Chemical Abstracts Service system (CAS system) is the one used most commonly in this context), at the expense of having names which are longer and less familiar.
