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.
In 2021, CAS rebranded along with a change in logo. The organization updated their mission to be more focused on dynamic responsiveness due to ongoing changes within scientific industries and communities. [19] In 2022, CAS announced the release of almost half a million CAS registry numbers under an open license in their Common Chemistry project.

Now, this validates that this numerical sequence (1-7 digits) - (2 digits) - (1 digit) is legal to use as a CAS number, but doesn't validate that it is in use in the CAS Registry. -- Underscore bruce ( talk ) 18:07, 18 September 2008 (UTC) [ reply ]
According to ASHRAE standard 34, the R-number of a chemical refrigerant is assigned systematically according to its molecular structure and has between two and four digits. If there are carbon-carbon multiple bonds, there are four digits in all: the number of these bonds is the first digit and the number of carbon atoms minus one (C-1) is next ...
InChIs differ from the widely used CAS registry numbers in three respects: firstly, they are freely usable and non-proprietary; secondly, they can be computed from structural information and do not have to be assigned by some organization; and thirdly, most of the information in an InChI is human readable (with practice).

Different CAS Registry Numbers [1] are used for each form of a substance. For example, something simple like alanine will have one CAS# for the D form, another for L, another for "unspecified" and a fourth one for racemic. There would be another four CAS#s for the hydrochloride, four for the (1:1) sulfate, four for the (2:1)sulfate, etc.
