Phenylisocyanate is an organic compound typically abbreviated PhNCO. The molecule consists of a phenyl ring attached to the isocyanate functional group. It is a colourless liquid that reacts with water. Phenylisocyanate has a strong odor and tearing vapours, therefore it should be handled in the fumehood.
Characteristic of other isocyanates, it reacts with amines to give ureas.[1] Similarly, reacts with alcohols to form carbamates.
It is used in addition with triethylamine to activate nitro groups to undergo (C,O) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (as opposed to O,O). The nitro group (RCH2NO2) is converted to RCNO in the reaction, with CO2 as one of the by products.[2]
Uses
- One example of the use of PhNCO is in the synthesis of prinomide.
- Another use is in the synthesis of Mesocarb.
