1,6-Dichlorohexane has CAS 2163-00-0, molecular formula C6H12Cl2, and the PubChem compound record CID 16551. The connectivity string C(CCCCl)CCCl traces the same acyclic molecule, while InChIKey OVISMSJCKCDOPU-UHFFFAOYSA-N supplies a compact structure index. Reading the registry number beside both machine identifiers fixes the identity more precisely than the short common name alone.
The locants 1 and 6 place chlorine on opposite ends of a continuous six-carbon chain. That terminal arrangement accounts for the two chlorine atoms in C6H12Cl2 and is different from a dichlorohexane carrying either chlorine at an internal carbon. The two ends are constitutionally equivalent within the unbranched chain described by the name. No dot-separated component or stereochemical marker appears in the cited SMILES. The record therefore describes one connected structure without an additional salt component or a stated stereochemical form.
A structure comparison can begin with the two terminal C-Cl connections, then confirm CAS 2163-00-0 and PubChem CID 16551. When sending Rlavie an enquiry, state 1,6-Dichlorohexane, the requested quantity, and any drawing that controls the target. Quoting the SMILES or InChIKey prevents a similarly named positional isomer from being substituted during review. The information here establishes the catalog identity represented by the public compound record; request-specific details require a separate response tied to the submitted target.
