Ethyl isocyanate

Description:
Ethyl isocyanate, with the CAS number 109-90-0, is an organic compound characterized by its isocyanate functional group (-N=C=O) attached to an ethyl group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is known for its reactivity, particularly with nucleophiles due to the electrophilic nature of the isocyanate group. Ethyl isocyanate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is used in various applications, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound is considered hazardous; it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure. Additionally, it is important to handle ethyl isocyanate with care, as it can undergo polymerization and react violently with strong acids and bases. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when working with this chemical.
