| | METHYL ISOCYANIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | Isocyanomethane can be used as porous embolization microspheres comprising drugs. | | Definition | ChEBI: Isocyanomethane is an isocyanide. | | Reactivity Profile | Methyl isocyanide is a reactive amphiphilic reagents for 1,1-additions to form heterocyclic N-t-butylimines, iminoyl halides, α-hydroxy amides, α,β-enals, α-acylamino amides via Passerini reactions, and polymethylene imines; oxidative additions to isocyanates and isothiocyanates. | | Precautions | It should be freshly distilled before use. It is a foul-smelling liquid that should be stored and used in a fume hood. Contaminated equipment should be washed with 5% methanolic sulfuric acid.
