CAS 10340-91-7: Benzyl isocyanide

Description:Benzyl isocyanide, with the CAS number 10340-91-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an isocyanide functional group attached to a benzyl group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive, pungent odor. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, due to the electrophilic nature of the isocyanide carbon. Benzyl isocyanide is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform but is generally insoluble in water. It is used in various synthetic applications, including the preparation of isocyanide-based compounds and in the synthesis of heterocycles. Additionally, it can serve as a building block in organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, it is important to handle benzyl isocyanide with care, as it can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions should be taken when working with this compound in a laboratory setting.
